Hiking

Yay! We FINALLY went out on our first hike as a family. We started small, not knowing what I could handle and also not knowing how McKinley would like the back pack. Our hike was to Bloomington Lake and it was only .6 mile to the lake. We had a great time! Robbie is the king of putting the camera on a timer and getting in the picture frame in time.
I love this one because it's just so 'us

Here are Robbie and McKinley heading toward the snow

Here is McKinley taking a break to enjoy the dirt


Turns out McKinley LOVES the camelbak.....
and didn't even want to give it back when we got in the car

That's so awesome! I can't even get my kids to drink out of a sipper cup.

McKinley is so big! She is beautiful. We still have yet to meet her. When are you coming to visit? We could do Sea World, Disneyland, the beach...

The pack is a Deuter. We got it at REI and McKinley and Robbie both like it.

You are awesome. i don't think we have taken our kids hiking and I don't know If I will. I'm too afraid that my boys will fall over the edge or do something dangerous. I can't even image.
