First hike of 2009

This weekend was a complete change from last weekend. No more snow! It was in the mid 70's every day, so we definitely took advantage of the warm weather. On Saturday, the Mears family headed to Black Hill regional park for our first hike of 2009. We had a great time! The ground was a little muddy from all the snow that had melted during the week, but that made it even more fun! Here is Evan walking down a trail...Evan said it was his turn to hold Daisy's leash, so we let him.They did pretty well except both liked to walk off the trail in the leaves or into the biggest mud puddles, and sometimes Daisy walked a little too fast for Evan to keep up!Evan really enjoyed being in charge of Daisy and her leash. It was cute!

Eventually, Daddy took over the reins for Daisy and she got to get her feet wet in the stream. She loves to paddle in the water and search around...

Evan was such a trooper on this hike. He's a big boy now and wanted to walk all the time. Daddy convinced him to take a break and get a ride on his shoulders. He had fun messing with Daddy's sunglasses...

All in all it was a great day at the park! The first of many hikes to come!
