Swiss Valley hike

Last week on a beautiful morning Claire and Will took a hike in Swiss Valley Park, just outside Dubuque. Here are a few pictures.

It's surprisingly difficult to take a picture of yourself while giving your daughter a ride on your shoulders. Here's my attempt.

Here Claire contemplates the importance of water.

Claire found this hidden in the recesses of our car on the way there and decided that she needed to come on the hike with us.

Claire gets down to the business of throwing rocks in the water.
