Last walk of 2008






The boys are bigger now, and make their own decisions about where to go for their walks. The last walk of the year was to Snack Rock. Snack Rock is a great little hideout. Once you are there, it's about as far away from the nearest house or car that you can get in our part of Maryland- about a mile. Nestled deep down in the hollow of the stream, it's always quiet. On a nice day we walk here from the house- a 3 mile round trip. It was cold and windy and miserable, so I drove down the hill to cut out the worst mile of the trip. Since we didn't walk as far, we also dropped down to the Daniels Dam and we threw a bunch of rocks at the kayak launching spot. We had the river pretty much to ourselves today- just us and a lot of ducks.

No excuse for not updating the blog all summer except

We splashed in the ocean
























We warmed stuffed animals by the campfire on cool evenings





















We rode horseback on Chincoteague ponies.





















We "camped" at Chincoteague Island





















We went progging in the river.




















We smashed things. It was a wonderful summer and fall.
