Take a Hike

We took Hannah on a hike in Gold Gate Canyon today.  Our friends were kind enough to loan us their child backpack.  Unfortunately it wasn't the most comfortable experience for Jim.  But we managed okay.  It ended up being a longer hike than we had intended - and a little hairy at the top (think climbing boulders) - but it was still a lot of fun.  Hannah was a good sport.  She slept part of the way and didn't whine too much.  We tried letting her walk a little on the "flat" part, but it wasn't quite flat enough for her and it was pebbled terrain, so the walking lasted about three steps before she toppled and we picked her back up.  We really need to take advantage of this beautiful place we live in!  We don't get out as much as we'd like.
