Saturday Hike in September

A few Saturdays ago we had Carl, Wendy and their kids over after the girls dance class. Their daughter, Bailey, also dances on Saturday mornings at the same time as Mia. We know them well because Carl is a manager in our cargo division. Our lives continue to overlap as they've moved out into our area of Budapest and their 2 children now attend the French Lycee with Terence and Mia.


The main purpose of our hike was to get out to the horses that are kept out in the field and feed them carrots which we often do on the weekends. I came fully stocked with carrots. Unfortunately, the horses must have all been out on a run as they were no where to be found.


The hike was a bit long and many of the kids needed rides along the way.

If you look closely into the sky in this next photo you'll see all the hang gliders - the sky was filled with them. The hill in the distance is a popular area for hang gliding.



Towards the hike back home, we were all spread out. I ran ahead keeping up with Terence while the others kept their own pace. This is what it looked like when I looked behind.



There's a rock quarry that doesn't seem to be worked in any more right near our house. We got to rest a bit here. The kids love to hang out in it and climb around on all the remaining rocks. Here are a few shots.



We seemed to have a few props on the hike. Leah carried the Barbie video camera during most of the journey - even pretend video taping during many parts. We also had Carl and Wendy's kite that T found a good way to carry after we had fun flying it for a while.


2 of our 3 dogs. Blue, our border collie, doesn't sit still for long enough to capture a photo.


Greta (almost 10 years old) is on the left and Kiraly (7) is on the right. Even they were tired.
