Great Swamp, Take Three

We are happy to report that Snurpee helped make our third attempt (first time was too wet in the winter snow; second time too buggy in summer) at hiking the Great Swamp a success, on a chilly but sunny spring day. When we have to snap on the gaters, we know it's going to get messy. Here Mama tries to dodge a few mucky puddles. Eventually we gave up and just plodded right through them. A few boardwalks offered short reprieves from the "suck, suck" sound of pulling our boots out of the mud. Snurpee enjoyed another hike nap on the fast-paced return trip to George. (Mama was hungry!)
