A Walk in the Woods

 With a gorgeous clear blue sky, little wind, and temps in the high 30's, who could resist a hike up Mt. Paddy?
Not Finn! 

 We all bundled up and set out on our adventure.

 Starting with a minor creek crossing

Our nature lesson of the hike was rime ice, which Finn understood to be "Ry Mice".  She was the best of all of us at spotting it, and kept repeating in her sing-songy voice, "Mice, where are you?"


We found this old campsite, with an interesting structure of two bent sticks, purposefully stuck in the ground. 
Finn called it a "home" and ducked through the 'doorway.' 




Crusoe napped for most of the hike.
