April Vacation


 For our staycation this week we each picked and planned an activity to do together.   Zoe's idea was a family trail ride on horseback, which was a huge success!


Zan on Dozer, Mom on Lauren, Dad on Gwen and Zoe on Kittery

Yesterday was beautiful so we tackled my activity - walking the entire West End Farm Trail.  (Full disclosure - we actually did not walk the whole thing, eliminating the first portion, which is paved bike path)  

Zoe and Zan at Dimond Hill.





The trail is  a great mix of terrain:  dirt road, single track, fields, farm, ponds and forest.  We saw a snake, a HUGE snapping turtle, ducks, a woodpecker, ospreys, and a beaver lodge and dam.

I vote for the full mountain man look and I like to think my vote is pretty far up the voting chain!!!

How did it go on the trail? Did you notice the drop I told you about? Can't wait to hear. I think it's the best!
