On the Trail Again

Well

We're back in OurRockyMountains

Home Sweet Home

and

We're back to takin' some Relaxing and Rejuvenating Hikes

(It's good for all of us ... FreshAir, SweetSmells and PrettyPlaces)

Needless to say

We're Happy

OneDay LastWeek

We talked OurPeople (including AuntieJudith, who's visiting for a coupla months ... along with Gramma)

into walking the trail along Bear Creek 

Which passes only a stone's throw from OurGirl's OnceWasElementarySchool

and

Only a few miles from OurHome

Especially Nice

Zoë got to enjoy the day with us

(We wish she lived in Colorado all the time)

We hiked a nice flat path (good for those acclimating to our HighAltitude)

and

It crosses the creek in several places

(We all like the water)

Zoë watched ... from a Distance and with Care

(She's a SmartWhippet ... she knows LittleDogs can get washed away in the RapidlyFlowingWater

Plus ... besides being loud and scary, it's really cold from all the MeltingSnow)

We made sure OurGirl used similar Caution and GoodJudgement

(Wise WatchDogs that we are)

Fergi managed to find a quiet pool where she could sip the water and cool her paws

She was a HappyPup

(She always is, on hikes)

We saw lots of DelicatePrettyFlowers

Some in the crevice of rocks

and lots of ColorfulMountainWildflowers that were scattered along the path

Best of All

There were some LovelyRedTreasures near the stream

(OurGirl found them)

and picked them

and ate them

(and shared them, too)

Delicious Wild Raspberries

(Just like the ones she used to pick in her RussianHomeland ... She and Moma fondly reminisced)

YUM!

They were probably the best part of the hike

We all agreed

It was a good day

Can you tell by OurSmiles?

It doesn't get much better than this!

We're LuckyPups

A LuckyFamily

We know it and are thankful for it

We're already looking forward to OurNextAdventures

(There're sure to be More)
