Sun Day Hike Pictures

Like I mentioned earlier, I declared last Wednesday a Sun Day (vs. a Snow Day) and we went hiking. A low-commitment hike, only half an hour away, and not too long either, only about an hour. It was a really fun getaway though, and break from the routine.

The weather has finally been lovely (apart from a sudden wind/rain storm that only lasted about 10 minutes, but was super-intense, of course while I was walking from the school to the car & driving home…) and we’ve gotten in quite a bit of outside time – hence all the picture entries!

On the way up the mountain, we looked for all the “hibernation holes” – so many among the tree roots & rocks. Maine is so rocky…

This chipmunk looks possessed!

A really cool tree:

… with more animal homes in it:

This gives a little bit of a sense of the grade of the hill:

Another unusually-shaped tree. I told Owen he could ride this one like a horse.

They thought the Y-shaped branch that got hung up in the branches of another tree was really cool:

Siblings!

Owen things he’s being funny; Madelyn is not impressed:

We brought the dog, too. He had a great time, zipping along.

Views, almost at the top:

Not bad for a short break between art (Owen) in the morning and church choir (both) & work (me) in the afternoon/evening!
