A Chilly Hike by the Lehigh River

We went hiking by the Lehigh River again on Sunday afternoon. We've been wanting to go ever since Thanksgiving (Ben had to miss out on our Thanksgiving Day hike here, so he'd been wanting to go see it). It had been really cold the several weekends we'd tried to go, so finally we had a little warmer day (it was 45, so WARM is a relative term here), so we decided to head out and have a picnic lunch.

We've had lots of rain the last week or so, so the river was really full and really moving! It was interesting to see the difference from when we were there just a couple weeks ago.

Here's Julia having our picnic. I thought she looked so big, sitting there at the picnic table all by herself...

Here's Ben & the girls. We even got to see the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway train go by. The girls had fun waving at all the people on the train. It was the highlight of the day (especially since the wind started to pick up during our picnic, making us all extremely cold).


We were ready to head back after our picnic and get to the warm car...
