First Official Hike

Our family did our first hike with the kids. It is something I did a lot before getting married and virtually not at all since then. But, since we live in Issaquah and Allie is fascinated by all the tall mountains (well, tall to her anyway) surrounding us, I decided we would take the kids on a little hike to see how they/we did.

Saturday, we drove to Snoqualmie falls (about 15 min from our place if you don't take the longest possible route... which we did unintentionally) which is only about 1/2 down (pretty steep) from the top to the boardwalk at the bottom. I had Adri in the back pack and Allie walked down on her own two feet. She did make it all the way down on her own and about 20 steps back up before Jake had to resort to the on the shoulder carry.

The kids had fun playing in the water at the bottom, but Jake and I got a little tired of the crowds that swarmed after we arrived. Over all, it was a good trip. One of Jake's coworkers has a backpack I think we will take for Al next time.

Sorry there are no pictures to show. Our camera is currently on the fritz.
