hiking try #1

so thalia and i had quite the adventure today! we set out to test my christmas present - the coolest baby carrier EVER! here is thalia getting ready to go...
and here are the two of us...all strapped in, and ready to go!
the park we went to was beautiful!! there is a large lake about a half hour from my apartment. i told chris i would go check it out to see if it was big enough for us to take our jetboat out on it. (the answer is definitely - YES!) it is much bigger than i expected and gorgeous! there are trees everywhere and you can see some high hills around some parts. for those of you from shelby, it's kind of like stony creek but much bigger. there are a number of different parks and trails and picnic areas. and since it was 75 degrees today, the park we went to was full of families having picnics and there were a bunch of boats out on the lake. we had a really great time!
on a completely separate and totally unrelated note, i hate my keyboard. whenever i try to type while thalia is cruising around, she always wants to help me type. and for some reason, maybe i have told you all this before, this dumb keyboard i inherited from mahoney has a power button on it!! A POWER BUTTON! the worst part is that there isn't any warning! so when thalia's fingers find the power button, as they usually do, the computer just shuts down! no "are you sure?" or anything! as you probably guessed, i was about finished typing this entry when thalia hit the power button. oh well...that's what i get for not paying attention to her every minute ;o)
we can't wait to come home! only a few more days! and you are all in luck because thalia hasn't quite started walking on her own yet. maybe it will happen this weekend!
love and miss you all!!
