Our Sunday Adventure

Today we decided to go to the Saratoga National Historical Park which is about 25 mins from our house & has beautiful views & a nice 4.3 mile hiking trail.



This is the beginning of the Wilkinson trail



As you can see the views are beautiful & it was all downhill!
How does this tree manage to survive?
Now the trail goes through the woods

Back into an open meadow
They really mean steep hill...........the trail goes down into a deep ravine & back up the other side!


Now we are going back up hill!

At this point I needed to p** ...if you look in the middle of this shot you can just see the visitor's center!
Still climbing the hill!
Finally back at the top
These two shots were taken from the tour road
This is the Hudson river

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
