Lollipop Tree

While we were at Wintergreen, Rory took her first "real" hike (powered by her own two feet as opposed to riding on Daddy's back).
The object of Rory's quest was the illusive Lollipop Tree, an arbor first discovered by Pops when he was hiking with his daughters.
Our brave hiker ventured forth, with only a map and her wits to guide her.
Here, captured on film for the first time, is the fruit of the Lollipop Tree.
Our hiker discovers her tree and picks the fruits of her labor.
Rory shows the camera the fresh lollipops that she has harvested and will enjoy when her hike is finished.
