Dylan's First Hike

On July 3rd, grandma's 60th birthday, we took Dylan on his first hike. Grandma and Grandpa came with us. Normally, people walk when they go on hikes, but Dylan turned it into a run. We had a hard time keeping up with him. We brought the backpack to put him in if he got tired, but he only went in it for 10 minutes (and he went in kicking and screaming).

At the top of the mountain we tried to get a family picture. Dylan doesn't enjoy having his picture taken these days.

On the way down we had to hold onto Dylan's hand because he wanted to run down and he would have done quite a few face plants on the rocks and roots sticking out of the ground. He also liked to slide on his bottom to get down. I will rethink putting him in khaki shorts for our next hike.

At the bottom of the trail was a river. The water was pretty cold, but Dylan still enjoyed dipping his toes.
