This morning we loaded up our backpacks and headed out for our first real training hike of the trip. River was very distracted by the snow. She just wanted to kick it and throw it and eat it. It made for very slow walking. She’s going to have to get used to just walking and putting miles under her feet.
We hiked to Grandma Neubert’s place. It happened to be lunchtime, so she sent me down to Domino’s for some pizzas. Then we ate pizza and watched the old Disney Winnie the Pooh. I had forgotten how beautiful that film is -- and clever. I had not realized how self-aware it is. It’s Disney at its best.
The whole afternoon was just perfect.
