THE HIKE:
 |
| Presidents' Day hike with the grandkids! Note that granddaughter Ellie chose her own hiking outfit for the day. |
 |
| Red-tailed Hawk |
 |
| What is that sound? |
 |
| Not liking that train at all. |
 |
| Very early skunk cabbage. |
 |
| Ellie was given the honors of nabbing balloon #11 of the year. |
 |
| We had just commented on what a nice path this was behind Manny's Pond when ... |
 |
| ... about half way along it became very rooted and hard to push the strollers on. |
 |
| Finally the end a a bridge back to the paved path. |
 |
| But we realized Ellie's coat was missing having flown off of the stroller during the bumpy root section. |
 |
| Found it! |
 |
| Uphill towards the Baptist Church Road parking lot where there are ... |
 |
| ... views! That is Spruce Run in the distance. |
 |
| Bugs were out and about and a tick was crawling on the baby, the only one who had not been on the ground! |
 |
| View of Spruce Run from higher up. |
 |
| Taking a break on the bench at Manny's Pond. |
 |
| Back at the parking lot. |
What wonderful, happy photos of the kids exploring nature, leading the dog and having a wonderful time. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bill. You know, the baby is usually complaining about something but he didn't cry the entire time (except when that train was going by) so he must have really enjoyed it!
