Hiking Hematite

We took advantage of the beautiful spring weather to head out the Hematite Lake and hike today.  We wanted to see how Annie would handle being out in nature.  She loved it.  We joked as she ran ahead of us down the trail at the beginning that we'd be packing her at the end, but she lead the entire loop.  She even wanted more play time after getting back home.  Clearly she is feeling better and her puppy energy level has returned.  We are looking forward to camping and would be out this weekend if the campgrounds had water service.  April 1 starts the season so we are hoping for another pretty weekend soon.  Here are some pics:
