52 hike challenge #15 and #16

#15 -  On Rose's birthday we went for a walk in our neighborhood - basically straight down a mountain to the parking lot where I usually switch vehicles. We walked down, then picked up my car and drove it up to the house. I love when the snow is gone and the mud has mostly dried and I don't have to switch vehicles for the summer! It was a fun adventure - especially with the added excitement of Bart (the cat) following us the entire way and needing to ride back up in the car!

Then we had a wonderful birthday cake after our hike, decorated by the birthday girl herself :)

#16 - Today Rose and I went for an "adventure" in our neighborhood - basically walking over to the airbnb, down a hill, up a hill to "pride rock," then along the ridge to see the river from a new angle. It was a lovely day, albeit a bit windy, for an outdoor adventure.
