The Hills are alive with the sound of...Ducklings!

Much to our great delight...the three little ducklings enjoy hiking!! We ventured out on a somewhat strenuous three mile hike up Sierra Blanca mountain. It was a beautiful hike through the woods and up along the tree line. Our halfway spot was a meadow near the summit where we enjoyed a little snack and got to see 8 deer grazing in the fields (sorry - no pictures). We could not have asked for a better hike - beautiful wild flowers growing, excellent weather, and three delightful little girls chirping along the way! Big Sis Duck resting her legs...
That sun is bright!! Enjoying a well-earned snack!
"Are we there yet?....."

  4. Hi RK - Sorry for the confusion...I went ahead and just posted all the comments :-) This was actually in New Mexico - can you believe it?! We love to escape up to these mountains b/c we actually get to see trees!!!

  5. How beautiful! And, what troopers. Our girls love to "hike," too, but to them that means riding on daddy's shoulders the WHOLE WAY!
