The great outdoors

August 7th, 2006

This last weekend we went on Anna’s first hike.  Neal received a baby backpack for father’s day and we just now were able to try it out.  Anna needed to be able to sit up on her own (even for a minute) before she should ride in the backpack.  She’s been doing a pretty good job of sitting up by herself, so we thought it was a great time to try out the backpack.  She seemed to enjoy it - new smells, sounds and sights.  She certainly slept well Sunday night!  It was great for us, too.  We figured out that the last time we were in the mountains was last September when we went to Yellowstone on vacation!  After our success this weekend, I think we’d like to try to get out for a hike more often - maybe even once a week!
