Full Moon Hike

I found out through Facebook that every month on the Saturday closest to the full moon, Devil's Punchbowl does a night time hike for free. We went to go try it out. My Mom had Emma in the back carrier, and Katie was walking by me. Her friend Kayle and her Mom met us there. After walking for a few minutes, Vicki got very behind and since Kayle was sticking with Katie, she ended up being stuck with us. She was worried about her Mom, but a worker was behind with her, so we knew she would be okay. When the hike was over, Vicki still wasn't back, and they sent another worker out there to help them. They had marshmallows and sticks for everyone, so they could roast marshmallows for a small after hike snack, as well as hot cocoa. The kids of course wanted to try it all. Thirty minutes later, we couldn't leave, because Vicki still hadn't returned, and we couldn't just leave Kayle there, so we sat around waiting. She finally made it up, and had some hot cocoa before heading home. It ended up being a long night, haha. Fun though. It was tricky to see in the dark, and they didn't allow flashlights. I think my Grandma had the hardest time. Blake tried using the flashlight on his cell phone for her, but the tour people got annoyed and said no lights please. But, when your Grandma is about to twist her ankle or something, I think you can bend the rules a little, lol. Not sure we'll go again, but it was nice to try it. It was only a short one mile hike.
