Fort Lewis has some really neat trails. We have been wanting to go walking on some of them for awhile now. There are flat trails and trail up through the hills. A lot of the soldiers use them for land navigation training and such. The biggest problem with all these trail is that they are in the woods (duh!) That means animals. We have been cautioned about going through them too early in the spring because the animals (read: bears) are still too hungry. We figured that we would be okay today especially if we took Lady with us. For those who don't know, Lady is our big dog. She's a Black Russian Terrier, looks like a giant, black sheepdog. And oh yeah, she weighs 125 pounds. So we loaded the kids and the dog in the car and drove about a mile to where we knew there were trails. We chose the trail in the middle, which ended up with the steepest uphill climb. We hiked for about an hour, an hour and a half. Kennedy thought it was fun until an ant crawled across her shoe. TJ however thought that was hilarious. We didn't meet up with any animals or even find any evidence of any. I did get a bunch of great pictures though. Here are a couple.

Melissa Kenmedy reminds me of when we were kids and we had all that ice cream at your house for someone's birthday. Somewhere Granny has a picture of you standing exactly like that next to someone... me I think. Still in my thoughts and most inportantly my prayers. Love Jaime
