It's winter vacation for school-going kids and we kicked off the week by heading into the woods. Not too far away, just to the local nature preserve. It has been wicked cold here in NY the past several days. The thermometer registered -4 when we left the house.
Once we got moving, it was easy to stay warm. Robert brought along Peter, his "Flat Sam" character, that he is supposed to take on adventures this week.
Peter and Robert tried some sit ups along the trail
and then a few minutes later Peter fell off a cliff. Bob pulled him to safety with his trekking poles
and then we got back on the trail.
We've lived less than two miles from this preserve for many, many years and never hiked its trails. It is now on our list of favorite places. It has a nice network of trails through the woods, which means we can take the kids snowshoeing without having to drive too far in the car.
Stay warm and toasty this week.
