first hike

We took our son for his first hike recently. We are so lucky to have a trailhead just a mile from our house. He led the way down the path and had a blast. He walked for most of it...


...but needed Daddy to carry him up some of the steeper hills.



He liked the snack break.


And checking out the scenery.


At one point, he started going on about plate tectonics and how mountains are formed and other geology tidbits he probably picked up from his Bumpa. To be honest, he kind of lost me.


We didn't go very far, but overall, it was an amazingly good first hike with a 2.5-year-old. We'll be trying this again soon.

    So nice to get a mention, and even better to hear that our discussions about mountain-building have stuck!

    Hiking is one of our family's favorite ways to spend time together! There's just something about being outdoors that is good for the soul - regardless of your age. We all become more peaceful, less rushed.
