If one thing that is nearly always true is that each child is different. I have found that with Walker he loves nothing more than being strapped into his BOB jogging stroller but put him in a front carrier and he wails. Ford, when little, would hang out in a front pack happy as can [...]

Kirk and I took Walker for his first trip to Mt. Rainier NP on Sunday (with big brother Ford as well!) This is the entrance to the Carbon River side, the end of the road and the start of the near 5 mile road/trail walk along the river and through the rain forest. Rainier decided [...]
