Mother-Daughter Wrekin Hike

Sierra and I love hiking!  We rarely get a minute just to move at our own pace because the little boys are a bit sluggish....heck their only 3 and 1.  However, sometimes it is nice just to get a minute to ourselves.  The morning was lovely and cool, so we headed for our favorite hilltop climb.

The Start & Our Favorite Resting Point:  Here's us all energized for a straight uphill climb. Bring it! We always love to stop at this grove of trees because it is the one flat spot on the whole trek.

The top of the mountain:  I don't know if we captured it on our last trip, but the thing about the Wrekin that is so special is the nearly 360 degree views.  If you look closely in the pics below, you can see the hills of Wales in the distance.  Absolutely amazing views!



Sierra on camera duty:  Sierra has gotten to where she likes to take over the camera and get pics of me.  I am still working on enjoying having people take pics of me.  What you might be able to see from the pics is how windy the top is.  It is always 10 degrees cooler up there compared to the base of the hillside.

Sierra the All-Star Hiker:  I love that Sierra is so at ease in the woods.  She loves being outside and even when the hiking gets hard she never gives up.  Probably why she is the only one in the family that can say she has been to the top of the hillside 3 times.  Get it Girl!
