Had our first fall/winter Sunday morning hike today. Last winter we did a few and I'm going to try to enforce it a bit more this year. Its just so nice to be together out in the quiet and crisp. Today we went to Great Falls and it was beautiful. We got there early--before the crowds and hiked the River Trail for about an hour and half. Connor, of course, loved the overlooks which he calls the "lookovers" and made us both paranoid along the trail about him running toward a cliff. There was long discussion about how canal locks worked and what goods they moved from Pittsburgh and why. And there were some cool "Please Touch" items in the Vistor Center including a snake skin and antlers.
We spent the rest of the day lying low, napping, watching "Nim's Island", and doing lots of coloring and drawing. Tonite we've been told that we are lucky to live with a "Fish Artist" and we were provided about 20 drawings of various fanged fish (which I started with a random drawing of a fish with pink fins and brown teeth--it took off from there). Enjoy.
