The weather has been rather chilly here in the metro D.C. area. The most that I've seen of outside is to and from the house to the car. So when the temperature warmed up to 50 degrees today, Mommy and Daddy said that we're getting out of the house for sure! Auntie Kristin in Memphis,TN sent us a really cool hike pack that Jude had outgrown and wasn't using anymore. Mommy and Daddy were so appreciative and excited when it came since this meant for an easier time with me on their hiking trips that they liked so much in the past.
Today we went to Great Falls and took the old goldmine trail. There was still snow on the ground and some slush from the muddy trails but, it was really cool. We hiked for about 1 1/2 hours and my Daddy calculated about 4 miles or so. I'm looking forward to more hikes and for the spring weather most of all. Here's some pictures of our adventure.
Love,

The frozen canal at Great Falls. "Boy, I'm sure that the water must be really cold!"
"Mommy, what kind of snacks did you say that you brought?"
"Mommy, stop with the pictures already.... we've got bears and deers to find"
"Daddy, really.... it's how much longer?"
