For New Year's Day we took Thomas for a short hike in Butano State Park, and then for a little visit to Pomponio Beach. He liked hiking much better than he did last New Year's Day. He liked walking around, and then when he got tired of walking, he sat in Karl's backpack and sang to us for nearly the rest of the hike (at the end he got a little cranky--probably because he wouldn't go to sleep). What a difference a year makes!
