Posted in Gear, hiking, Hiking Gear, tagged , , , , , , on January 9, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

My life has changed a lot since the summer of 2009, when I found out I was pregnant with Walker. I knew going into it, that having more children, that my reality would shift and it was OK the first year, we got out and hiked a lot, after Walker was born in March of [...]

A Smattering of Photos from 2012

Considering I started 2012 off at about 33 weeks pregnant, I wasn’t feeling very outdoorsy. Until as soon as our 3rd son showed up. Then I was missing being out there! When Alistaire was ready for the jogger stroller, him and Walker were bundled up in early spring to enjoy local rail to trails: I’ll be [...]

Monday At Sunrise

Monday Kirk had a rare weekday off, so we took all the boys up to Sunrise at Mt. Rainier NP for an easy day of hiking. We hadn’t been up there since last summer and last year the snow was deep. This was so much better – barely any snow left made for easy hiking. The weather [...]

Two Wee Ones and Two Lakes

Saturday Kirk and I took our two youngest up to Mt. Rainier for an easy hike to Bench and Snow Lakes. I hadn’t done the trail since 2003 (our oldest was 6 then) and Kirk hadn’t hiked it before. Having two small ones has encouraged me to find shorter hikes once again….and in a way, [...]

A combination of a Meet-Up group for moms, friends of friends and a few more ended up with 8 moms and 8 babies (good thing we were not on a wilderness trail!) meeting up this morning for a hike. Considering it was decently nice (and by that I mean no rain) and my other option [...]

Little Footpaths Through The Trees

Walker has mastered walking and gone from toddling to showing off his sporty new shoes and marching everywhere – he isn’t quite down with wooden dirt paths. The only way to get little ones out is to well, take them outside! He was fascinated by the moss and stones – and a zillion little toddler [...]

Monday Morning Hiking – Always A Great Way To Start The Week

My friend HikerMama had emailed me last night wondering if I was free today. The good weather was on the wane but the first half of the day looked to be decent enough. Three hikes in three days? Oh sure, it had been way too long since I got to pull that off (2009? Before [...]

A Sunny Sunday Hike With The Family

Kirk and I took the boys out for a quick family hike this afternoon. It was still blue skies aplenty but threatening to change…so not a day to waste! It got down to around 23° last night and was still definitely chilly out all day. We decided on the close in Nolte State Park which [...]
