Lunches for an Outing: 7.12.12

Yup, another hike!  This time, the kids and I went up Elmore Mountain.

It was about a 5.2 mile round trip hike, with some added extra for a little nature trail we went on, and we ended it with a super quick dip in the little Lake Elmore.  It was an awesome day, for sure.

And we had a really yummy set of lunches to go with the hike.  We had a fun skewer of grapes, half a turkey and cheese sandwich, a couple strawberries, baby carrots, a few plain potato chips (we earned them!), and three energy bites that I made based on this recipe - with golden raisins, dried currants, homemade peanut butter, and quick oats.

These kids earned their lunches

We even climbed the tower!
