Hiking Trip

 After spending a day boating, we took a break the next day and went hiking.  Where we live, we don't get a lot of hiking in so the boys really enjoyed themselves being able to run free amongst rocks and dirt.

 Looking ahead at the family

My dad kept wondering why we don't own hiking backpacks for our young kids.  It has never crossed our minds to buy one.  In the end, we all took turns putting Gavin and Carter on our shoulders.

Grabbed some hiking sticks and they were ready to go!

Balance beams take some intense concentration

 

 This is the way to hike

Even better...this kid can sleep anywhere/anyway

Zane carried Gavin downhill and I think he was in some pain by the end from the uncomfortable position, but he didn't want to move him so that he would stay asleep.  What a good dad.
