Hiking in the Mtns



On our second day we bundled up and braved the 32 degree temps to hike to Laurel Falls. It had been raining for 3 days so they were full and flowing.
It was really cold!
Uncle Steve, Aunt Robin and their two girls
We passed by two little falls on the trail that were flowing over the walkway. We had to carry the kids over one so they wouldn't get their feet wet. Unfortunately we forgot snow boots this day and only had our tennis shoes.
Uncle Steve mapped out all of our hikes for the week and did a great job.
Evan got really tired on the way back down and I had to get creative. I had a fairly long fleece scarf. I made it into a sling of sorts and carried him on my back. We ended up hiking 2.6 miles that day and I was very proud of my big girl for making it the whole way. My baby boy though cried about halfway down it was pretty stressful but he survived. For not having hiked on Daddy's back but once before I could understand that he was DONE.
