On Saturday, we went back to Great Falls for a hike. (I had enjoyed the trails and scenery so much last weekend that I really wanted to go back and hit the trails again.) We encountered more people than we did last week plus, we saw more kayakers and rock climbers. It seems everyone is starting to emerge from the indoors now that it's warmer.
One of the more interesting aspects of the hike was a frog-filled pond that we happened upon. Sounds strange, I know... But, did you ever see that bizarre 1970's horror movie about frogs? Well, this pond reminded me of something straight out of that movie. There were hundreds of frogs in this little pond and the noise from their croaking and ribbits was quite loud and impressive... almost like a little frog orchestra.
Although Tahoe and Ashley did not come along for this adventure, we did run into a couple accompanied by a handsome blue weimaraner. Unfortunately, it was towards the end of our hike and after four + hours of hiking, I was not quick enough to snap a picture.

Chocolate:
This weekend was the annual Chocolate Lovers Festival. Chocolate + Festival = Yummy! There were several chocolate vendors, demonstrations, and a cake competition. I got to sample a couple of chocolate covered strawberries.

Rain:
Rain has kept Tahoe and Ashley in for most of today. In fact, those two dislike the rain so much that they won't even step outside to go to the bathroom when it's raining. Hopefully the weather will dry out by tomorrow - I'm not sure that Tahoe and Ashley can "hold it" much longer.
