The Happy Hiker!

The first weekend in December, we made our annual trip to Gatlinburg with the Thornes. As tradition has it, we also went on the mandatory hike (Rick's favorite:) Obviously, we had to figure out how to get Cade up the mountain to Grotto Falls. Luckily, Pam found a baby hiking backpack that turned out to be a huge hit! Cade absolutely loves being outside, and had the best time...

Too much fun can be exhausting! This is at the end of the hike:)

how fun! i don't think i could hike up a mountain if my life depended on it right now, but it sure does look fun! i can't believe heath could carry that backpack all day--cade's a chunk! jon and i have been talking about trying to take lilly camping soon--i'm afraid we may have a girly-girl on our hands--I won't know what to do!
