Hiking Trip

With Disneyland passes needing to be renewed, we had to take up a new hobby that we can do together as a family. We decided that we would try hiking! To those who are thinking you went hiking with a newborn and a toddler, are you crazy?! All I have to say is no way! Presley is a very active two year old and really enjoys being outdoors playing and discovering things, so this hike was perfect to stimulate that very curious mind of hers. As for Kinley she is still very new so we carried her in the Baby Bjorn "front pack". She absolutely loves being in that thing because it reminds her of being in my belly, especially when I'm walking. Presley walked the whole way uphill to the waterfall and Kinley slept the whole time. It was a good 2 mile hike and Presley did the whole thing without a fuss.

I on the other hand, seeing I just gave birth 3 weeks ago was very tired! When we got through with the hike I looked over and Wade in complete exhaustion. I felt so out of shape but man did it feel good to sweat again. It just motivated me more to really start my working out routine and getting back in shape.

It was a fun day and a new experience for all of us. We will definitely do it again because the ending result was Presley sleeping for 3 hours during her nap time. hehe. Oh and this time I won't fall on slippery wet rocks when crossing a stream. Now Presley’s new favorite sentence is “We walk and mommy fall and got all wet.”
