Izzy the Piggy...

My friend Christine just bought a pet pig, Izzy.  She also just moved to South Plymouth with the state forest literally in her backyard.  Colton and I went down on Saturday to meet Izzy and go for a hike, yes, Izzy came with us.  Although, Izzy took her time on the trails and Christine had to carry her part of the way while she literally squealed in horror (she hates being carried), she was a trooper.  We went by so many other people on the trails who would stop to meet Izzy saying they had heard about a pig in the area that likes to hike...lol.  It was an abnormally warm day in New England and PERFECT hiking weather so we just kept going on the trails and decided to find a geocache along the way.  Colton was excited because there is a geo series in these woods named after "Jedi's" and being a Star Wars fan he thought it was the coolest name for a geocache ever.  So we found this one down by a tree right next to a pond.  We were searching for awhile when all of a sudden Colton said "Mom, look at this cool rock"...bingo...he found the cache!  The log was hidden in the rock and we were able to check off the "Jedi Knight" from the list.  Our goal is to find 50 geocaches this year...that means we have a lot of hikes with hopefully a cute pig in our future.  Colton didn't want to leave but after 2+ hours of hiking he said, well let's just go back to Christine's and hangout.  We ended up walking straight to the car and he fell asleep as soon as we pulled out of the driveway.  So fun and we are already planning our next visit (did I mention before we hiked we did lunch and bloodymary's?...that is how you start a hiking adventure people...also how you spend a perfect Saturday!)
