The Great Falls Excursion

This morning, at 0 Dark Thirty, Quinn and I joined Kirch and Mike down at Great Falls for a long hike and adventure. It was a beautiful morning. There was basically no one there. My kind of outing. That's the benefit of getting there at 7am.

Quinn and I got some mother-daughter time for a half hour or so before we caught up with Kirch and Mike (who had gotten there even earlier, so Mike could have the upcoming sunrise for his photography project, of which Kirch is the subject). Once we all met, we continued our journey together. We watched Kirch fish, let Mike take additional pictures (of which I'm looking forward to seeing a few, ahem-ahem), saw helicopters, turtles, fish and a fawn - all while the sun crept higher and higher into the sky, warming the weather considerably by the time we finished our walk. All told, Quinn was a trooper, walking about 2 miles in 3 hours (give or take a few rides in the arms of the adults). She loves the outdoors, and is always looking for her next adventure!
