Eric, our friend from Chicago working on his post-doc here at MIT, is an outdoor enthusiast and asked us to join him for a hike yesterday. We gladly accepted and headed into the great outdoors! We had a blast! Eric hikes often with his beautiful dog and took us to one of the easier spots. The weather was amazing! The sun was shinning, snow crunched beneath our feet, and the breeze was warm (such a tease-it snowed today). The kids have been cooped up all winter long and had a rare chance to run and get dirty. They did a great job! Brenden is great outside, but Annie is not too into the outdoors unless it means going from the car into a building. I'm trying to get my kids out of the typical "city kid" mentality and we're getting there. It went so well that we're planning a camping trip this summer. Don't worry we'll start small!
Eric is pictured with the kids at the top. They ADORE him! Just a small note...Eric first held Brenden when he was just hours old and was with me when I was induced! We are very happy to be with him again!
