Ridenour Overlook

It was lunchtime before we finally decided what we wanted to do today.  I am so thankful Jerry always comes up with great entertainment ideas for us.  He suggested that we pack a lunch and go to the Ridenour Overlook to enjoy some of the sunshine we had.  When we got there we were disappointed to find the gate was closed.  Though we didn't really remember how much farther the overlook was, we decided we would not be deterred by the closed gate.  So we parked the car and started walking (through an inch or two of snow that was still on the ground).  Luckily we carried the diaper bag with us because half way up Will fell while chasing the dogs and soaked his pants.  It was a bit farther than we remembered - I guess any distance covered by foot always seems longer than an equal distance traveled by car!

We made it to the top and were rewarded by a nice sunny spot to have our lunch.  The dogs especially enjoyed the trip.  They really haven't had any exercise outside all winter.  I assumed they would be tired when we arrived back home but Napoleon promptly found his ball and brought it to Jerry for a game of fetch!


Will caught a ride on Mommy's back on the way down.
And the dogs followed close behind.
