In Search of Christopher Robin

The Search

Day 1 (3/16/19)

After a very long winter the weather this morning was beautiful. Our son called to see if we wanted to head down to Harrington beach to do some hiking with his family. It didn’t take much prodding to get us to agree. They recently picked up a new little Boston terrier puppy, Moose, so it was a good opportunity to give him a chance to blow off some steam. It was our grandson Wade that had the most fun however. After being cooped up all winter he had to explore everything. It didn’t take long before his imagination started to run wild. Soon he and grandma had found a tree that looked like it could possibly have been Pooh’s house. Without going much further they found another one that just had to be Piglets. It was a perfect morning for exploring except perhaps for the slippery spots. Moose spent a lot of his time sleeping but did manage to do a bit of chasing around. As usual the beach offered another spot to explore. There was still some ice along the edges but there was enough area for walking. The park had made a lot of improvements last summer like a new shelter and stairs down to the beach. I hope we get more opportunities to explore this summer.
