December 3rd thru 7th, 2012 Core E Week 11 LOW

December 3rd thru 7th, 2012  
Core E  Week 11 LOW

We spent the weekend (Dec 1,2,& 3rd) at the farm.  The BEST part was that Dd and I went to Spring Mill Park and we hiked Trail 3 together!!  My favorite park, my favorite trail---2.5 rugged trail.  I use to walk this before Dd, then a ton while I was pregnant with Dd, then when I was in labor with Dd (dumbest idea-ever!), and then after she was born I took her in a baby bjorn, in a stroller and any and every way I could!  On Saturday, this was the first time we both walked the trail with it being just the two of us alone!  It was really nice having it be 'just us' again.  I love my Dh--but it was nice having a little solo girl time on a trail!
