Hiking at Pine Grove Furnace

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous lately!  Jeff has also spent a couple weekends trapped by work. Therefore, the past Saturday, with no work lined up, Jeff wanted to get out and about and enjoy the wonderful weather.  Dylan & I obviously agreed.  Daddy suggested we go hiking at Pine Grove Furnace since we have never been to that particular State Park to go hiking.  Not to mention, he found that it would be pretty easy hiking for the little man's first "real" hiking trip.

We packed up some sandwiches for a picnic lunch & headed off to go hiking on Saturday morning.  My friend, Lauren, decided to soak in the beautiful weather too & joined us on our mini day trip.


Dylan was facinated by all of the  water, lol.  He kept looking for frogs or at least that's what he was telling us.  He soon enjoyed simply splashing in the water by throwing rocks in the creek or smacking a stick in the water.





Dylan perched up high on a fallen tree.  It makes him look so little & big all at the same time.







These next few photos are just some really cool pictures that Jeff took and I liked them so decided to add them in this post too.  




Dylan was collecting rocks the whole time too (of course).  In this picture he had to stop to put them in his pockets, lol.

Lauren, Dylan & I on our way out of the park for the day.  I can't believe the boy still wanted to walk after all the walking that we already had done.  He's quite the trooper.  Even I was a little bit tired.  After we got back in the car, he was quite the ham showing off for Lauren in the backseat.  In a matter of minutes though, he was passed out.  We all had a blast and it was just so nice to get out and about in nature on such a gorgeous day.  We are looking forward to many more hikes now that the boy has had his first "real" hiking experience and loved every second of it, lol.
