George Mitchell Park













With the great weather this weekend we had to get outside! We explored George Mitchell Park which is on the south end of The Woodlands. Duke enjoyed his first real hike while he explored the trails and made sure the kids stayed out of trouble. By the end of our 3 mile hike I think all were tired (note the last picture of Duke and Emma). We all had a job to do today while on our hike and Duke was responsible for carrying his own (and my) water bottles - good thing for him his load got a little lighter the farther we walked! This is a great area of The Woodlands and we learned today from a Park Ranger that it is also home to the following: wild pigs, horned owls, road runners, bobcats, foxes, coyotes, and an occasional alligator. You never know what you might run across while out on a Sunday hike!

Explore Conroe








A fun Sunday exploring Historic Downtown Conroe with great places for photography! Duke was able to get out and explore quite a bit as we strolled through downtown finding great places to shoot pictures.

Horsing Around!






What a great weekend! Saturday was Emma's first horse show and she did a fantastic job riding Cory for TallyHo Farms. It was super cold (37 degrees) but we had a great time and she came home with a green ribbon for her riding. A few pictures to commemorate the day.
