Saturday is brrr...

It was almost 60 degrees here on Friday and when we got up, the sun was shining on Saturday morning. Seemed like a perfect excuse to get out to the woods and do some walking!

So, we packed everyone up with a picnic lunch and headed out to Cuivre River state park. When we arrived, We discovered our favorite playground was not open and therefore our favorite trail wasn't open either. So... We improvised. We ate our lunch in the car and then hit the trails. Which is when we discovered that is was only 40 degrees outside and a few of us were terribly under dressed. Oh well! Hike on!

It was a gorgeous, crisp afternoon and just what we needed after a busy week. Although halfway through the hike I think John and I both questioned why we were doing it. Two complaining kids can make even a peaceful,pretty walk a tortuous affair! By the end, one of them was sobbing because they were convinced we wouldn't ever see the car again. The other was alternating between crying about a wet shoe and having cold hands. Making family memories!
