Subject: Today's hike

Today we did a 12 km hike with our four children. They spend spring to autumn entirely barefoot, we don't have fitting hiking shoes for any of them and they consider the barefoot life "their thing" so it was clear they would do it barefoot, wearing shorts and t-shirts, though our younger daughter preferred her summer dress.
Though it was advertised at some point to be a barefoot friendly trail it turned out to be mostly gravel roads. That didn't slow down our kids though, their tough little bare feet ran across the rough gravel without difficulty and they were at least as fast as my wife and myself in our hiking socks and trekking shoes.
We had great fun stopping at a restaurant for lunch and live music (a band playing amazing rock'n'roll from the past). And as we came by a stream of water of course all kids had great fun splashing in with their feet, a wonderful refreshment on a hot day!
All kids are fine and happy afterwards, still for next time we are looking for something with less gravel.
