Winter Walks

I was lucky to go on three hikes in the past week or so, to three of my favorite places. John joined me on my back each time. Hiking with a baby is one of my favorite things in the whole world to do. When John gets bigger, I'm going to have to start borrowing babies...

Our first trek was out in windy open spaces and around a lake:

The second outing was a quick up and down. We caught it at the last light of the day.

Will joined us for the last and the longest hike. We were tucked in the woods most of the time. He took advantage that it was just us, and he explored side trails, open fields, and tagles of trees. He makes my heart swell.
