Walking Stick

When we can...
we spend as much time together...
outside.

All three of us would rather be there
so hiking is a favorite.

Eva was so on board...
walking stick was required equipment.

I was worried about how the monster would do...
The last hike was a battle to keep her out of the river.

She had it all figured out now.
Becoming a regular hiking pro.

Stay on the bridges and paths.
Only look at the pretty flowers...
no stomping or picking.

It was a gorgeous day.
She was a great trail leader.

This is awesome. I love it when the littles just blend in and enjoy things that we enjoy. Life changes when you have a baby, but it doesn't have to change completely. Great photos to mark the moment!
