Sunday walks...







Went on a beautiful walk today in Valley Green (Wissahickon Valley).  It is quite an amazing place, being that it is considered a part of Philadelphia.  I thought my husband was going to take us (myself and the kids) on a nice, easy walk through the (flat) gravel path through the park... Nope.  We parked way above the park and never ended up even seeing any gravel path.  We hiked down along the mountainside and all over the place... It was mud-covered ice with some wet leaves thrown in there too.  Not the easiest "stroll" with a 5 and 7 year old, but we all did great.  It was almost like being back in Maine... I saw no litter, heard hawks, and leaves rattling against each other.  Clean, crisp, sunny air, with the smell of mud and melting ice all around.  It was great.  Now I am exhausted from all of that crazy climbing.  Hope you enjoyed some photos from our adventure!
