Tag: 13th birthday

I was so excited when I woke up.  Mommy and daddy sang happy birthday to me before they started working on their project.  After they were done for the day, daddy said that we were going to go on a short walk for my birthday.  It was a nice day, a little cool, but very sunny, a great day for a walk for sure.  I mean, not that there is ever a bad day for a walk.

As it turned out, we didn’t take a short walk at all.  We started out by going down to the campground and walked to the amphitheater.  Then we started on a trail that was supposed to take us back to the campground, but part of it was closed.  So, then we had to take a detour on the Fred Behrand Trail.  Well that trail took us all the way up the mountain.  I loved it!  It was the best unexpected birthday present ever.  Daddy didn’t have his hiking books on, but he still did ok.  I was so happy.  There were some steep hills and narrow parts of the trail, but I conquered it like a champ!  13 years old or not, I have no plans on slowing down any time soon!
