The Morrisseys took advantage of early Spring weather today to go hiking at Chickee's Creek. It was a balmy 64. That is T-shirt weather here (for those of you in TX and California who expected to see parkas on us in the pictures).
One great thing we experienced was Aaron's bout of courage climbing a steep gully. Normally, he is a pretty cautious guy, so I try to let him have free reign when he wants to attempt something a little dangerous. (Don't worry Mom, Christal and Lois -- I do mean a little dangerous.)


After we did it once, he begged us to do it again. First, we made him walk with us out to the lookout point. It was gorgeous.

On the way back, we decided to let him do the gully again, but this time he did it alone. He nearly exploded running down the hill to meet us afterward, the story of his exploits running out of his mouth faster than his feat down the trail.

We are looking forward to many more adventures as the weather warms up.
