So on Memorial Day we hiked Snoqualmie Falls! It was a beautiful and peaceful drive (Sienna slept both ways and Ethan slept on the way back). The hike down was easy and the cool mist from the waterfall was so refreshing.
We have a high-quality Kelty-Kids hiking back-pack. We bought it used for a bargain and have been delighted to have it. Notice in the above picture Sienna is on my hip, not in the backpack. She couldn't stand it. So, I found myself with a cumbersome backpack strapped to me while carrying my daughter on my hip. Backpack, anyone?
Although Ethan did well on the hike down, he decided he was too tired to hike back up. Ethan loved the backpack when he was younger and begged to ride in it again. Sienna determined she had enough of Mom on the way down and wanted Dad on the way up.
So my wonderful, strong, handsome, never complaining husband carried both kids (65lb) back up the mountain! Here is a man who loves being a Dad and is willing sacrifice to make his family happy. Jeff, I love you and have so much respect for you! Happy Fathers' Day!
