Family hike along Wissahickon Creek
We finally got all five of us out for a hike this afternoon. We went over to the Flourtown side of Fort Washington State Park - only a quick drive away from our house. In nicer weather we could ride it.
I got some hiking poles for Christmas (Thanks, Kate - just I wanted!) and Anna helped me test them:
It was nice to have Maria join us - she hasn't been able to make it out for a walk in a while because of her performance and rehearsal schedule:
We found an area of low ground that had ice cover on it, which the kids found just perfect for stomping:
Chels and I even posed for a rare picture:
We also came across some neat old stone stairs:
We managed to get out for about an hour, which was impressive considering our schedule these days. The weather was great for a wintertime walk - about 45F and overcast. Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer, with high temps maybe going up to 65F. If it gets that warm, we'll have to get out for a bike ride. (Anna and I went out very briefly yesterday on our bikes, just long enough to fill up our tires and come back home.)
Photo note: As is often the case, we have more photos on Flickr than I've ended up using here, so make sure to have a look at our photostream.
