A Holiday Hike

photo 1

We don’t have family super close by so when holiday’s role around it’s usually is just the 4 of us looking for something to do. Of course we love our families, but I will admit I love the time together as just a family. On the 4th of July we decided to head to Thacher State Park and explore. I had heard some great things and was excited to go on our first family hike as a foursome. We loved hiking last year with Rowan. I got Kev a Deuter Kid Comfort III for Father’s Day last year and then I just carried Finley in our ERGO Performance. She actually fell asleep for most of the hike. I love getting out there all together. There were lots of beautiful views, waterfalls and silly conversations with Rowan.

    The picture of the three of you (and the top of Finley’s head πŸ™‚ ) is unbelievably cute!! What a perfect fourth of July.

  2. Ah, I love Thacher! I’m so glad you all enjoyed yourself there; it’s my favorite place in the 518.

  3. Looks like a cool, relaxing way to spend the holiday!

    whoa! where did you get those sandals that are comfortable enough to wear on a hike?! i need to get me a pair…

  6. Great pictures! I love Thatcher Park. I grew up just a few miles from there and my brother was married there. Your family is so sweet.

  7. What an amazing spot! Love me a bit of nature.

  8. Looks like fun!! Someday I will make it to your area of the world–I’m so curious. Just getting back from our trip to Seattle, and I see a lot of similarities in the green beauty there.
    Our kids absolutely love to hike too–such great family memories!
