Happy New Year!

It's a brand new year! Let's see if I can do a bit better at posting on my blog this year. At least I can start the year with a post. Today's activity was visiting the next county park on the list - Dyer Park. It's a regional park so there's plenty to do and we'll go again some day. Because it was built on an old landfill, there are even a couple of hills to hike up and down. 

 Today we decided to hike along the mountain biking trail. Part of it was in a forested area.

 

There was plenty of water, and although there were reminders posted that alligators could be present, we didn't see any.

  

Part of the trail was out in the open along some dirt roads. It was actually a very pleasant hike, particularly with the cloud cover, although it may not be quite so pleasant if you try it in August.

  

 After our hike, we took the time to relax by the lake and enjoy a yummy barbecue lunch.

It was a beautiful day and we're looking forward to many more such days as the year progresses. We hope you had a great start to 2015 as well.

Happy New Year!!
