did I miss spring?

Not sure about where you live, but in my area of Ohio, yesterday's weather went from weeks of chilly rain straight to summer.  Temps were near 80, with wall-to-wall sunshine.  It was the kind of evening that we just had to do something.

We live within a couple miles of a few different state parks.  We favor one, because of the selection of hiking trails.  The other, though, has some nice paved walking trails, and that is the mood we were in last evening.  After dinner and homework, we drove out to the park, which had something for everyone... a stroll and a bench along the lake, geocaching, and (for Dylan and Zachary's benefit) "recycling" cast-off and tangled fishing tackle.
