Lake Chabot

Today was a beautiful day for a hike, so we packed up some snacks and headed out to Lake Chabot in the Oakland Hills. It didn't take long before we were in the dark woods. The trail was pretty steep, so it was a good thing the boys brought their walking sticks!

When we finally emerged from the forest, we were nearly at the top of the hill. Alex and Zachary stopped for one of their many snack breaks with the lake in the background.

After some more climbing, we made it to the very top. But the boys still wanted to go higher!

Back down at the trail head, Zachary showed off some of his skills.
