Last weekend Will,Parker, Murphy and I went for a drive up in the hills. We went out of Long Barn and discovered beautiful trees, rocks and little baby trout. Murphy was in Heaven, he ran all over God's creation but still stuck around. He would come and check in every once in a while to make sure that we were all okay.  Parker loved gathering rocks and sticks.He would try to skip rocks in the river like Will.   We all went barefoot and walked across the rocks.  We found some different looking pine cones, some that I have never seen before, so we brought those home.  Murphy experienced riding on top of the dog box for the first time and didn't really know what to think.  He finally jumped down and got inside where he felt more safe.  We packed a picnic and had a wonderful relaxing time.  Parker is such a trooper and his favorite part of the whole trip was that on the forest service roads he got to sit up front with Mommy and Daddy and experience life outside of the back seat.
