Hiking Lake Catherine




Luke and I decided to go for a hike Saturday afternoon. The air was crisp and the sun was shining. We looked at his Tim Ernst book for EASY hikes for FAMILIES and CHILDREN....keep in mind the all caps words for they will come into play later on in this story. So we decided on Lake Catherine, the Waterfall trail it was said in the book that this was a very easy hike. Well 2 miles later and uphill both ways I was a little tired and cranky. I'm not much of a "nature" kinda chick....I prefer the indoors and walking on the treadmill...but I thought I would be a good wife and do this for Luke. All I have to say is Tim LIED!!!! It was neat to see the waterfalls, but we didn't know at the time that Tim told us to go the back way first! Oh well.
Luke and I had taken this hike years ago when we were dating...well we were skinnier then and had my dog Freeway with us. I guess we were just in love and didn't mind the uphill thing. Oh well. A lesson learned....read the fine print!!!

I'm so jealous of your organized, neat craft closet. I need to get to work, too!
