Hiking with the Family




This past weekend we took the boys to Ledges State Park and we went on a hiking adventure. We packed our hiking back packs, one of which carries Simon as well as has some other storage for snacks, water, etc...Ethan packed his back pack with snacks, toys and his water bottle and we set out for the trail. Ethan did surprisingly well. We didn't know how long he would be able to make it walking on his own, but we probably covered about 1.5 miles. We stopped and had lunch by the river and the boys played with some pebbles and rocks. The way down went pretty quick and as you can imagine, the way up took a bit longer. Ethan walked about 10 steps up and Thomas and I both took turns carrying him the rest of the way. It was a good work out for us all. It was a beautiful morning and Ethan talked about his hiking adventure all afternoon. Hopefully we can take another adventure soon!
