Back to Hiking

The weather this morning was too perfect to not go to Sugarloaf Mountain. After Troy and I decided to tackle a hiking adventure, I packed a picnic lunch, and we scooted out the door. We have found that the trails aren't too busy in the morning - usually before lunch - and that was the case again today. We started our hike around 11:15 this morning, and hardly anyone else was on our favorite trail.

Even though we already have several pictures of various Sugarloaf Mountain hiking trips, I couldn't leave the camera at home. Here are some of my favorites from today:
I carried Julia on the way up, and Troy carried her on the way down. An additional 25 pounds makes a huge difference when you're climbing a mountain!

Evelyn thought this looked like a good place to take a picture. I thought it looked like a good place to take a break.

Here's Julia, our newest rock climber. This proved to be more of a challenge than she wanted, especially after nearly falling backwards a couple of times. Thank goodness I was there to catch her!

I helped the little adventurer find a shady rock to sit on. She didn't move from this spot, playing with pebbles on the ground. Here she is, happily showing off one of her finds.
