We had a quiet, but very late, New Year’s Eve celebration at our house with Baris and Alexandra. It included good food and conversation, as well as a couple of rounds of Exploding Kittens. The boys wanted to try to stay up until midnight, which they (and we) did. I am not in the habit of late nights anymore and this one did me in for the next day. It kind of did us all in, actually.
We managed to get out at my insistence for a short hike at Foothills Park. It was a glorious, but chilly, day.
The hike took less than an hour and wasn’t even two miles, but the scenery was lovely. A little muddy in spots, but lovely.
We saw some interesting fungi on the trail.
And a whole bunch of deer.
We took a few not-so-great photos at the end. The bright sun made it hard to look up let alone smile.
After we got home from the hike we all collapsed. Even the boys took a nap — almost two hours — and that never happens. We had leftovers for dinner and had a surprisingly early bedtime. The Moisions are party animals.
