Last Saturday we needed out of the house and so we went to Mt Ogusu for one of our favorite hikes. Where we live there is some debate here as to weather hiking should be allowed. Some people seem to think that we cannot leave our house for any reason. A neighbor even went as far as to yell at my kids for being outside on the street in front of our house. Its a little frustrating. I personally think there was no danger or risk in us going on a hike, so we did. Being outside in nature has many benefits, including health benefits and I'm glad we were able to get out.
In fact I tried to take the kids to two different beaches on Friday but the parking for both was blocked off. What is the danger of us walking around the beach together as a family?
Anyway, Calista had fun looking in the gutter water.
She was really the only one who wanted to pose for pictures. The other kids were busy working on a movie. They took many videos and have a whole storyline planned out. I'm sure I'll post it on here when they finish. They really spend hours a day taking videos for movies.
Calista couldn't let me take a picture of Beatrix without her.
Just behind the fence in the next picture is a staircase that leads up to a great lookout spot but unfortunately it was closed up.
There is an alternate entrance to this hike. I figure about 90% of the hike would be different if we start at the other point, but the ending place is the same. Sometime we will try the other way. I'm worried to try it for now though because that one has a real parking lot that may or may not be blocked off. For this entrance we just park on the side of the road in the driveway of an abandoned house.

Oh my gosh - I'd be SO mad if a neighbor yelled at my kids for being outside! It's definitely good for everyone to get outside every day! If your neighbor doesn't want to, that's fine, but don't get mad at other people for doing so. Oh, brother. That kind of stuff annoys me so bad.
