Hoyt Arboretum!... Gesundheit

Kyle and Ryan with their Daddy & "Doug the Tree" at Hoyt Arboretum - it's like a tree museum, but we did not have to "pay a dollar and a half to see 'em."
Why did one nincompoop, one crazy canine, a free loader and a frustrated father cross the road? Which one is Ringo... I think we all know the answer to that one.
We told Kyle he couldn't go on the Fir Trail anymore...
... but then we informed him that we were going on the Wildwood Trail instead.
Here he is basking on a rock.
Same rock, with flash and the ladies.
Ryan: "Hey! I love hiking. This isn't so hard. I don't know why my mom grumbles so much."
Imagine your most relaxing hike ever through the beautiful forest of trees, woodland creatures abound. Now imagine that your 3 year old has decided that a harmonica is the best thing to bring on this relaxing hike.
Tree hugging.
More harmonica - no chance of seeing wildlife on this hike.
"A hiking we will go, a hiking we will go, we'll plant some pine and put 'em in a line and then we'll let them grow"
More tree hugging. The kid's a hugger, what can I say?
Mushroom
Kyle playing in a Camperdown Elm, which is part tree / part tent.
Kyle could have spent all day in this tree - best tree for kids ever!
This is as far as Kyle would go up the tree.

Kona pretended like she was a wild dog chasing squirrels
Ryan: "Phew. This hiking stuff is wearing me OUT!"
