Sunday Adventure: Hike through the woods

I really enjoyed Sunday's adventure!

We went on a family hike through the woods. I'm glad we have a friend that's an avid hiker who knows how to find treasures of perfect walking trails in hidden sanctuaries.

It was gorgeous weather: sunny, brisk enough to merit jackets and hats, but warm enough that all gloves were off after 15 minutes of walking. There were patches of snow here and there, and the ponds/lakes were definitely frozen.

We had a pleasant afternoon of exploring terrain, climbing a few trees, around several hills.

The biggest hitch of the afternoon was the end. Although the ranger station was posted as open until 5pm, it was completely locked when we got back at 4pm. This meant that the much-anticipated bathroom break at the end of the hike, couldn't happen as planned.

Thankfully, though, there was still refreshment. We had packed carafes of hot water and hot chocolate mixes, tea&coffee bags in the van. So, we concluded the terrific afternoon outing with a picnic of warm refreshment and snack (crackers & cookies).

Makes me want to pencil another hike on the calendar!
