The news is good. Ellie may not follow in her Mom's hiking footsteps. Truth be told, Natalie has never made footprints on a trail. In fact, she may never have been on a trail.
Over the last two years we have encouraged Ellie to ask her Mom for hiking boots but to no avail. We suspect one of the reasons might be that the young lady's shoe closet is full. No space for another pair of footwear. As a compromise, Ellie mentioned that she would wear sneakers (tackies) initially and should she enjoy the outing, Mom and Dad may buy her boots. Good enough. Should we be honest, we would express some doubt that our little sweetness would take to the trails. Nevertheless, one does not want to be negative so we'll switch over to some photographs taken at the base of Mount Woodson.
Ellie peaks, a first time event. Okay, so it's builders' rubble, let's not get technical.
Ellie begins the rather tricky descent.
The kid faces all types of hazards including a duck attack.
Two of the County's deep thinkers. (What about a snack?)
The 'girls' below the shadow.
From hiking to fishing but without a pole (rod).
Ducks and birds intimidated by Ellie.
Getting comfortable in the environment...nearly time to go to the playground.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
