Thursday Treks – Goat Rock Trail

May 23, 2013 | Parenting |

goat rock trail

We have a new family goal:  to exercise together!  Pretty much the only thing we can do together as a family with the wide age range is take walks.  So spouse and I are trying to take the kids on a hike every week.  Since I don’t usually post on this blog on Thursdays, I decided to start a journal of sorts about our wanderings.  It will also act as a great motivating factor for me to make sure we do our weekly hike!

This past weekend we hiked on Goat Rock Trail, starting at the recreation fields IMG_3718in Hampden, MA.  The whole trail is 1.25 miles long, but I estimate we only went 1/3 of the way to the Hampden Overlook.  The trail was pretty steep and although Number 5 is a trooper and walked the whole way, there is only so much his little legs can take!

There was a lot of grumbling in the beginning from Number 1 about our new exercise plan (it doesn’t fit in with his pre-teen lifestyle) and he refused to be in any pictures, but he was in a good mood by the end.

The view from the top was beautiful.

And we were super excited to find one of my favorite wild plants – The Lady Slipper.
