HiHo...HiHo...off on a hike we go...

Apparently we live close to California's largest coal field. Dave found this trail a few months ago and took the girls but this was the first time I went with them. It's a great place to go because dogs are allowed and the trail is long enough to tire the girls but short enough that Charlotte can walk the whole way! It was a super foggy day but we ventured out anyway...I think the trail is about a 2 mile hike and I'm so proud of my little ladies because I didn't hear one squeal of a whine or complain...


 scary old farm house on the way up the hill...



 Charlotte wants to keep up so-so bad




 one of the coal mines

 the inside of the coal mine is made to look like it did from the mid 1850s to 1900
 old barns make GREAT stages

 daddy and his girls
 these trees had this crazy wax-like trunks that attracted hundreds on bees. it freaked me out every time we passed one...
 we hike to the top of the hill which was higher than the fog...
