Hiking

We have taken a couple of hikes this summer. She is of course, an outdoors girl, so anything outside is wonderful. She also loves to sit in the hiking backpack and we think it’s funny to count how many times people comment on this- “Now, that’s the way to hike,” or “Do they make that in my size?” ect. So far the record is 15 comments.

We had Carl’s friends from college come visit us with their wives and families, (Dave and Sean) and we had a blast catching up and watching the kids play. We were able to enjoy a couple of hikes with them too. Carl is excited for Sophie to be able to hike by herself, as carrying 30 pounds on your back gets a little tiring. But for now, it was great to get out and hike as a family.

Sophie took off her socks and shoes to dip her toes in the water. By dip I mean wade out into the freezing glacier lake up to her shins.

So many rocks to jump off of, so little time.

Love my backpack and my daddy!
