A Walk in the Woods

This morning Gwen and Mom took a hike in a nearby nature preserve. It was quite chilly, but also quite lovely with some intense yellow foliage. Gwen was in the pack most of the time, but got a chance to walk at the end. Despite many roots to trip over, she managed pretty well. She found lots of leaves and wanted to show Mom each one.

P.S. As you may have noticed in the last post, Gwen has a nasty bruise on her face from a fall yesterday morning. She has been pretty attached to a particular blanket, but she often slips and trips on it. After this blanket battle wound, she'll have to leave it in her bed to snuggle with only when she sleeps.
