Saturday May 3 was Go Topless Day, I found something about it on All Things Jeep. I searched for local events, found nothing so we decided to have our own topless day. We dropped the top, strapped in the kids and headed for Hobbs State Park. There is a walking trail there called the Van Winkle Trail that we decided to walk. Its half a mile long and my 19 month old walked the entire thing, even the uphill part, not bad for someone who has only been walking 5 months! Here’s a couple of mommy has to brag pics….

I had no chance of Georgie looking up, there were way too many sticks and rocks to ever grab her attention.

We found a dirt road and as normal when we find a dirt road we have to know where it goes. The curiosity has found us some amazing scenery over the years. This time it had us turning around a mile later. With all the recent rain we’ve had the road was cut short by a puddle that looked more like a lake. If you look behind that beautiful red hunk of metal you’ll see our roadblock.

Sunday since the weather was even nicer we decided to head up to Roaring River State Park in Missouri and drive the Sugar Camp Byway. We of course took the first dirt road we came to and decided to see where it went. It was about three miles of beautiful tree covered road with one mud crossing and a lot of loose rocks. Once again we hit a rather large road block; this time in the form of a tree. The little speck in front of the tree is my 6’1 husband.

I can’t believe in one weekend we managed to find two things that not even the Rubicon can get by. Despite not knowing what’s at the end of either trail we feel pretty satisfied. The kids both loved being off the beaten path and going topless and that makes us happy. My husband and I love the outdoors and it’s important to us that we can spend time doing things like this with the kids.
