Hiking and chestnuts

We went on a nice hike up above Proveysieux.  The kids haven't been very interested in hiking, and to be honest, most of our attempts have ended up in much whining and carrying.  Today, however, the kids were great, except for a slight Alex meltdown at the end.  We found a prodigious chestnut tree along the way and gathered a bag full of chestnuts.  The sharp spiky husks caused some unexpected tears, but otherwise they were impressive in their chest nutting skills.  Later that evening we roasted them, and they were delicious.
