This past weekend, we did a Barfußpfad (Barefoot Hike) up in Kell am See with our friends, the Goodwin Family. It was gorgeous and VERY fun! They had different stations to walk through including mulch, mud, a stream, cork bed, tiny pebbles, inch-wide rocks, logs, stumps, and a weird stilt-type thing. The kids had a blast. Emma woke up screaming "barefoot hike, barefoot hike" that morning, she was SO excited to traipse through the mud with permission. :) Harry wanted to know if he could wear his socks. Pretty sure there's a lot of his Gaga in his personality!

 |
| Emma loved the stumps- she was perfect size to hop along! |
 |
| She needed a little help with these though! |
 |
| Yeah, you wish you were this cool. :P |
 |
| The cool kids |

 |
| Dirty feet! |
 |
| Emma kept howling that the water was cold (it was VERY cold!) but kept going back for more! |
 |
| I think the mud was her favorite part- it was very squishy!! |
 |
| They had a wading pool set up in the crick at the end to rinse off. |
 |
| The guys needed a beer at the end! |
 |
| John had the only casualty of the day- Jay bumped his nose and it got scraped up. It looks worse than it was, but he sure howled about it! |
We will definitely be going back and doing it again when the weather is warmer. The area was gorgeous and we all had a blast. Apparently, there's another nearby that has a thigh deep mud pit. Maybe I can convince Jay to do that one too! :)
