"When you come to a crossroads wait for the rest of your group.""

Sometimes what makes the hike wonderful is simply the people you take with you. 

Robb and I separated in October 2011, although it was not always easy, we have made this work. I would like to say that Robb and I have a better relationship now and I know I appreciate him more. We now work toward having a "blended family"; though I cannot complain as it has been easy with this group of people! I enjoy all of my people and feel constantly blessed.

Owee's second documented hike:

On October 7, 2012 we wandered aimlessly through Tryon Creek Park in Lake Oswego Oregon. We did less than 3 miles in under two hours with Owee, myself, Tyler, Robb, Miranda (age 15), Cormac (12 at the time), Layla (7 at the time), and Aidan (age 3). We had a cumbersome stroller and at times the terrain was not very friendly! We broke into two groups at several times and lost Miranda and Cormac briefly; this was when we established some rules! Remember, when you come to a crossroads wait for the rest of your group! Overall a wonderful hike with wonderful people! I love these people!
