Winter trail walk adventure

A couple of weeks ago, Kypros and I packed up the girls for a winter trail walk.  We had recently discovered a conservation area only a short drive from our house and thought we'd take the girls up there to check it out - we weren't disappointed!!!  We'll definitely return - and can't wait until the summer to see what our new wildness fun park has to offer.  Here are some pics:

Wanna go on a trail walk??  You bet!!
Headin' out!
... and ready to roll!

We arrive at our destination!

Exploring streams (on leash, of course!)
As much as we'd like to let the girls off leash - at this point on our walk, there are way too many opportunities for getting into creeks, streams and ponds.  Great for summer, but not so great in January!


Finally!! Of leash and ready to explore

Zoë and Coullah in their element
Happy trails

Look at the joy on Coullah's face!

On the hunt - check out Zoë on point (right)
Could they be happier??

Zoë takes a break

Prepping the Frog Pond
We discovered that the Frog Pond is used as a skating rink in the winter.  Local residents volunteer to shovel it off.  Kypros and I took a walk out and it was perfectly smooth - I believe a private skate is in our future.  Wow!  With no one around, it's incredible that such a great little spot is just a 5 minute drive away!

Heading back to the truck
Ready to head home

Stay tuned for next post!  More littermate stories.........
