Hiking - Hanging Rock

We celebrated Veteran's Day by spending some family time at Hanging Rock. It was a perfect day for hiking. Emmett was a hiking machine - we did a few miles! He even had to carry his backpack because Daddy and Mommy had backpacks! The thing I thought was really cute is that he had to bring his dog along because the dogs came with us too. So sweet! And there's nothing like trail snacks while admiring the view. So much fun!

Family Bike Ride

We took another bike ride - this time with Susie. They did pretty well in the trailer - it will take a little getting used to!

Family Bike Ride

We got a new trailer for the bikes, and we decided to give it a try - E  loved it! Next up - both kids!

Family Night - Hiking

We decided to go on a family hike to Hanging Rock State Park. We haven't been in a long time, and it was so nice to get back up there and enjoy being outside. We went to the Lower Cascades Trail so that E could play in the water for a while. There really wasn't anyone on the trail, which was nice. We've been up there when it's packed! E did really well walking, and I carried S for the first time in the carrier. We had a great time!

Here we are by the waterfall:

On the way back to the car, E had to use daddy's hiking stick:

Family Week

It's Monday, which means Camron went back to work. We had a great week. Here are my favorite moments:

1. Family outings - whether we went out to eat or went to the park, or just stayed home watching a movie, it was nice to just spend time together.

2. Projects - both Cam and I worked hard on many projects, including moving furniture between rooms for E and S. It's always nice to check things off the list!

3. Big Boy Bed - we transitioned E to his twin sized bed. Considering everything that has been thrown at him lately, he's done REALLY well!

4. Funny Moments - E kept us laughing all week. Our favorite new saying is "go mow!" When Cam pesters E too much, E tells him to "go mow" to get Cam to leave him alone!

5. Adjusting - It was great to have time for the four of us to get used to being, well, four of us! S is a sweetheart, and she is doing so well.
