Ben A'an Hill Walk


After spending two whole days in doors and in our jammies - it was time to get out!  And get dressed and shower before noon for that matter.  We were thrilled to have a gorgeous crisp and sunny day.  A perfect day for a hike.  We drove an hour and a half through Loch Lomond to the Trossachs National Park and made Ben A'an ("Ben" means mountain) our destination.  It was glorious.






Once we reached the base of the mountain, the girls opted out of finishing the climb for a head start back and to find a proper toilet.  The boys trekked on and were rewarded with this . . .


Gosh, even just experiencing the photographs takes my breath away.  I'm so glad they finished the hike to the top for all of us.


We all had a wonderful day out, but it is time to confess that two wee Matthews' girls were not at all pleased with the excursion at the start.  And, sometimes as a parent you just have to tune it all out, embrace your sense of humor and make the experience yours - it's either that or turn the car around.




Good times right?  But, as adept as I've become at tuning out the whining I still prefer for us to all have a happy, memorable experience if possible.

This is how we were able to turn those frowns upside down . . . continue to following post below.
