A Hike

stylized photo of Mikey from behind hiking the snowy trail.

Recently, Dave and I took Mikey on a quick hike on one of our local trails.  He loves being outside and we are always looking for ways to get him some exercise.  It’s a local trail, but it was new to us, and we had fun exploring. It was a good day.

Go, Mikey, go!

Bonus

We came across this cool bear statue!
