(Click on the picture above for photos from our trip so far.) Sammy and I checked out the Historic Smithville Park today. After getting a decent rest, we were ready for some adventure. A friend of Dad and Marilou’s is in charge of all the Burlington County parks. They certainly did a nice job with this one. We ran about 5K on a series of woodland trails past a stream and around a small lake. We found some leaves turning yellow – Sam picked up a maple leaf and said “I found a star!” It was warm and muggy due to the off-and-on showers. I sprayed us with bug repellent since we’d be trying to outrun hungry mosquitoes 🙂 We enjoyed a picnic lunch (thanks Marilou!) in the large shelter near a huge playground. After delivering a little thank-you present of macadamia nuts to Jose at the John Deere tractor place, we returned home for a nap. I actually managed to feel cold today – not sure if it was getting wet, then coming back to an air conditioned home, but I am wearing jeans, a long sleeve shirt, and a fleece vest as I type! So it was a successful day – we found a leaf and managed to get cold!! wooo hooo! Now we just need to figure out how to find some snow…
