.............Hiking trip

Jeff was 'studying' Saturday (he actually ended up passing out all afternoon), so Ali and I went to Spirit's creek with my dad. We had a great time...the dog absolutely loves being outside!! The forest was pretty charred from a controlled burn the previous week, so we were hiking through ash. Ali was a wet, black, muddy mess by the time we got done. She went straight into the tub as soon as we walked in the door at 10 pm! It was a long afternoon, but we had fun. Here are a few pictures:

Here you can see how black the woods were from being burnt

This was a really neat rock

She loves the water!


Beautiful!!
The more wet Ali got, the more the ash turned her black. So gross!

My dad the photographer



He took a shot of us


This is me hand feeding Ali her dinner. She gets so excited on the trail that it's the only way she will eat. Can you say spoiled???



Conked out! (before we even got there, though...lol!)
