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!

Duke - Welcome Home!


Happy New Year! I hope to do a better job in 2010 keeping up with the blog. However, with travel, busyness of life, and the cold weather my camera has been hiding...I finally decided to dust it off! Today was the first day I have taken any real pictures this year and it is for good reason - we have a new addition to our family! We decided to bring an English Springer Spaniel rescue dog into our home. We are very excited and we wanted to share our first picture of Duke with you. I am sure we will experience much of life together and you will see many more posts that include Duke. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
