Hiking

Bean sniffs the trail of a deer herd.


Oscar poses nicely, Bean is busy sniffing.

Dh and I took the boys hiking today in Patapsco State Park. It was in the upper 30's or low 40.'s I wore a windjacket under my coat so was quite comfortable. We saw a herd of deer cross the path. Bean's nose went bonkers smelling the deer trail. He sounds like a little train engine or pig snorting when he scents something.

We went up a steep trail where we had to walk single file. Both boys did well on this trail. Round trip we probably hiked about 3 miles. We didn't go further because we didn't want to tax the boys. Oscar is a senior citizen and Bean has a bad back hip. If Bean goes to far he will start limping. Oscar will lie down and refuse to move if he gets tired. I'm afraid to push Oscar to hard because of his heart murmer.
