New Year's day/birthday hike

It took me long enough to post these... I guess my New Year's resolution should have been to update my blog more, huh?

New Year's day is Greg's birthday. It was unseasonably warm that day (despite my wearing a hat- my head was definitely hot by the end of the hike) so we took the boys to Appalachian trail to hike to Annapolis rock.
I miss hiking sooo much in the winter. I yearn for warmer weather so that I can take them out whenever I want. It's especially hard since we live within minutes of Gambrill and the Watershed, where there are several great hiking trails. It's just been too darn cold. We even attempted to hike one Sunday back in December when it was below freezing and windy, and lasted 12 whole minutes. Maybe I'm a fair-weather hiker, but I just don't enjoy it when my feet and hands are frozen and I can't feel my face.

Anyway- here are a few photos captured with my phone:
