Enjoyed a lovely hike with friends this afternoon. The way down was much more pleasurable than the way up as I carried Laurel on my back the whole way.  Intense. I only fell once (slid down one steep slope on my bun). It is customary for me to do so.  We all had a great hoot over it.  Laurel too (who was not hurt)! Warmest day of the year yet, we busted out the sunblock. This time of year is so beautiful here.  The hills are only green for a short while in the spring (summer sun turns them brown).  At the top we chorused "the hills are alive, with the sound of muuuuusic, ah ah ah ah ah." You should've heard us- it really added to the beauty of the moment. 


Good times, good exercise, good night!
