Hiking season

Okay, maybe not yet, but it was a warm 48 degrees or so yesterday, so we hit the trails in search of a couple of geocaches. We had an amazing time! Eleanor really enjoyed the experience this time...not like last year when she had us convinced we'd never hike again. (Okay, looking back at that post, it might not have been entirely her fault. She was only six months old, and we did take her out at naptime. What were we thinking?!?) Anyway, she enjoyed being outside and naming everything she could see for us. She also sang several original trail songs...her favorite went, "Dupa-dupa-du....di-di-di." So cute. We even got her to say, "Geeeshash...ah you?" (Geocache, where are you?) We can't wait to take her out again. Unfortunately, it's raining today, but we may go out tomorrow.

Here are some pics from our adventure...

Jared, finding the first geocache.

Wow. Winter is so...brown.

Does anyone see me? Oh, there I am....sort of. The second geochache.
