Charlie & Millie

Charlie and Millie (our next door neighbor's new schnoodle) play in the grass. Millie is all the rage for Charlie and the girls. Sadie calls her Millie Millie Moo Moo.

Glen Alps Hike Kick-off!

We started the 2011 hike season with rain and high winds at Glen Alps. Our hard core hiking group pressed on through challenging weather conditions to
find last year's crowberries,


explore unknown territory on trails and in the trees,




and play in the snow.


Let the fun begin!
