Hiking Through The Sourlands

Today I pulled on my hiking boots and decided to get some fresh air with a friend.  We took a short 15 minute drive to the Sourland Mountains.  I jumped from rock to rock on the way up and down the steep trail for some good exercise.  Once we were tired, we climbed up to rest on a huge boulder. We also saw different types of birds, which you know I always enjoy.  It is an easy trip to Hillsborough. You should take your family to check it out!

On the Trail

The trail starts in a pretty field of flowers, birds and butterflies.

Today two teacher friends, Freddy and I all went hiking on a trail near my house.  It was a beautiful, sunny day.  We have been very lucky with some wonderful weather lately!  Fresh air and exercise are always such a great way to relax and stay healthy.  What have you been doing outside on these gorgeous days?  I hope you have been playing outside too!!

Freddy is worn out from chasing squirrels.
