Subject: Sunday's hike

We get the first spring days here, flowers are coming out and it's warm enough not just for bare feet, but for short sleeves as well, at least during the day.
On sunday we did the first longer family hike of the season together (12 km). All three children of course wanted to do it barefoot and stayed so throughout without the slightest difficulty. They convinced me to follow their example, but on some rocky sections I had to concentrate so I could follow them! As they haven't really taken much of a winter break (only short interruptions on the coldest days) their feet are tough and strong as ever, but now I'm trying to toughen myself up and do regular barefoot hikes myself.
We had a lot of fun and some comments like "You're all really tough" or "Now it's obvious spring is here". We saw a lot of flowers, trees with tiny bright green leaves and a great number of people walking their dogs. We remained the only barefoot family though.

The first of many other barefoot hikes I'm sure!
