We took Deacon on his first hike last Saturday afternoon up Mueller Park Canyon. He did very well and went farther than I thought he would. Since we were a bit slow, we had to keep moving to the side of the trail when other hikers, bikers, and joggers would pass us by. Deacon was so funny; one time he pushed me and Matt to the side and said "against" so he could "jog" by us. It was so funny that he wanted us to stand off to the side while he jogged by. When we got to the top of our hike there were some tee-pee looking things made out of logs. Deacon quite liked going in them and said they were his home. He also liked finding the potato bugs in that same area since we stopped for a little for him to explore. There are a couple of bridges and a stream up this canyon that Deacon really liked, too. When we got to the bottom, we stopped at the stream and took a break. Deacon had to go potty at this point so we figured he could go in the bushes/trees. He thought that was pretty fun and wanted to "go potty in the trees" again later that day. Hopefully we didn't start something... I told him that going in the trees is only for when he's hiking or camping. We had a fun hike and hopefully we'll be able to go again this summer if it doesn't get too hot too fast. It must have wore him out because he took almost a 4 hour nap that afternoon!
Here are a few pictures of us in the "homes:"
