More From Hawk Mountain

My trip to Hawk Mountain last week was a lot of fun.  I did not get a picture of a single Hawk but I did see lots of other beautiful things.

Procrastination

on the rocks at Hawk Mountain

Matt's back at work and Olivia is using her last free day to do all her homework so...I'm going to clean up Christmas.  Eventually.  After I procrastinate for awhile. 

Hawk Mountain

We all gave our new hiking boots a workout on Hawk Mountain.  The trail went across those rocks in the last photo and then dropped down out of sight.  I chickened out when I was going to have to jump/fall three feet to the rocky/icy ground below.  Matt and Olivia, being significantly taller than me, had already made it past that point.  So imagine me sitting wedged in between two rocks, feet dangling in the air, calling "ABORT, ABORT!"  It was all totally dignified.  I eventually disengaged myself from the rocks and we went back the other way.  Maybe when the ground is totally dry and I grow two feet we can try again.  At any rate we had a really great hike and spent about four hours climbing over rocks and stones.  A very beautiful day!
