Matt and I took Allie up to Rockefeller State Park on Saturday, where we hiked around admiring the trees and the wildlife. Ok, it wasn't really hiking (hiking implies some sort of elevation - there wasn't a lot), but it was a walk through the woods where we saw wild turkeys (those suckers are big!), deer, a hawk, and a lot of squirrels and chipmunks. Oh, and we saw a family of ducks - a mom with a flock of adolescents. Made me very happy that humans don't usually have more than one or two kids at a time as the "ducklings" were quite noisy and obnoxious teenagers. Anyway, the paths there are all tamped down gravel, so in theory you could wander the woods with a stroller. We chose to use our new backpack! Since we didn't actually drag out the camera while we were there, I stole the above image from some stranger's flickr file, but you can see what most of the place looks like. Matt did take out the video camera, but I haven't figured out how to put the movies on my computer yet. One day soon you'll be able to see the turkeys cross the road (er, path) and Allie in her backpack. Two hours in it, and no complaints! Remind me to take a picture of her in it.
