A Walk in the Park

Gabriel asked me the other day, "Why don't you ever take us hiking any more?"  Well, there is the small matter of my recent foot surgery; the inconvenience of him being in school; snow; holidays; general fatigue..... but instead of logically answering his question, I told him I'd plan a trip for us for the weekend.  Somewhere close, with gentle trails for my recovering ankle.  I chose Seward Park, since they have a new Audubon educational center, and I've never been there before.  We had a really nice few hours there.  I'll post a few photos here.  If you want to read the whole report and see more photos, you can go to nwhikers.net and read my trip report.
