Hiking... hiking... hiking...

Jake loves hiking! My cousin Missy gave us a great backpack and we tried it out for the first time this past Sunday. Jake was so excited and enjoyed himself so much that we have already taken him two more times this week. He just smiles and looks all around, listens to the sound of the leaves crunching under our feet and reaches out to try to touch the branches on the trees. Yesterday's hike wore him out as you can see from the first picture below... he fell asleep right in the pack.

Keep going Daddy... I'm good.

Breaks over, back at it Mama!

I see you Mama.

Are you sure that this is the right way?

Check out my new kicks!

I don't think you can get there from here, Daddy.

I love this hiking stuff!  I'm not even tired.

Ahhhhhhh!  What a beautiful place to live!

Giddy Up Daddy
