This was Felicity's third hike, and her love for the trail only increases. She learned what leaves and roots are ("tree" is common knowledge to her now). Roxy flushed two whitetail deer and Flissy was able to scream "Eeeeeee" as they darted past not 20 yards away, long bright tails straight as flagpoles. She was highly impressed with the lily pads and stopped every few feet near the pond and on the bridge to point them out to me. I also learned a new trail hazard today...dirty diapers on the trail. My skill had not diminshed however, and the diaper was easily changed with no mess and Flissy's digging through the pack eventually produced two ziploc bags to double-wrap the hazardous material in. We walked about the three miles (Flissy riding for about half) and she fell asleep soon after on the way home. The first two pictures are from an impromptu picnic on the trail and the last is from one of the many bridges we crossed over a pond.
