Mother's Day



After a luxurious morning sleeping in and having breakfast in bed we packed up and headed to a trailhead five minutes from our house to enjoy a short hike. We are trying to break our little speed demon into the Kielty pack and allow her mom and dad some time to be active. The irony at this age is that everything active that we want to do involves Eva being fenced in, which, as many of you know, she does not like. At first the Kielty pack was new and exciting. She loved being so high up. The trail was packed with families making the seven mile trek to the top of the mountain so she had plenty to look at. But around a half hour into it she wanted out. We put up with her protests for about twenty minutes but then let her run around and eat rocks. After watching the documentary, Babies, we have decided that most of what she puts into her mouth won't kill her. We hope to try again and lengthen the stretches where she is confined by 10-20 minute increments. By the time she is four we should make it to the top!
