First Hike of the Season

Yesterday we took you on your first hike of the season. We went up to Blodgett Canyon which is a fun and easy hike not to far from our home. The last time we were up there I was six months pregnant with you. So it was fun taking you back up there where you could get down and walk the trail yourself. You stayed in the backpack most of the way up but we stopped a couple times so you could get out and play. You wanted to go in the water and why not, it was a beautiful day and was 70+ degrees. As soon as we put your feet in the water though you wanted to get out, the water was still a little cold from the snow run off. On the way down, you wanted to walk most of the way. It was a little rocky at times which made it extremely difficult for you to walk yourself. So daddy and I played a game with you where we each grabbed one of your hands, we'd count 1...2...3, and swing you. We probably swung you halfway down the mountain. It was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed the beautiful weather. We wore you out too because you slept all the way home!

Look at the size of that tree!

Play time!
