This afternoon, we set out to take advantage of the warm, sunny weather for a family hike on the American Tobacco Trail as it goes from Durham into Chatham county, just south of us. Olivia trekked along for a half mile or so on her own – little trooper – she even got stuck by a briar and didn’t cry - just said “Boo Boo” over and over – and a Hello Kitty BandAid made it all better. We tossed rocks in puddles, picked yellow flowers growing along the path, and searched for the roosters that she heard somewhere in the distance. A perfect ending to a wonderful weekend of relaxing at home together.
