Sky Meadows Hike








Somewhere in Sky Meadows State Park there is a pink sock missing a baby, but a few bare toes didn’t ruin a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend adventure. We saw a chipmunk, a worm, and dozens of beautiful butterflies, and once again found ourselves needing to redefine the “moderate trail” designation in our guidebooks. These kids are heavy! Patrick really enjoyed walking some parts of the trail (and insisted that he use a hiking pole) and Madeline as always enjoyed the view from the Bjorn. On Sunday morning I was really touched by the nice wishes we got from some of the patrons in La Madeleine at breakfast. We tasted our girl's namesake pastry (not bad kid) and then my very understanding family indulged my wish for a photo shoot in the park. Patrick’s smiles now cost us a bag of gummy treats, unless of course he’s running with a football, in which case the smiles are free.
