Pete's Hole!

This year to celebrate the 24th of July Dave and I decided to go camping at Pete's Hole. We have come to this pretty little lake at least every other year since we got married. We thought it would be the perfect place for McKenna's first camping trip. Pretty impressive, don't you think, she went camping before she hit twelve weeks old! Actually, I think we may have been just a little crazy to have taken her so young, if we didn't have our tent trailer there is no way we could have done it. It was so nice to get outdoors and enjoy the cooler weather!

After the first sleepless night we decided to try something different, so we bundled McKenna up and put her in her car seat, it worked great! She slept so well in it, which was a huge relief!

McKenna's First 5-Miler!




Last Saturday Dave and I took Kenna on her first hike! We went up Mill Creek, one of my favorite canyons because it is gorgeous and Gauge is allowed in it. We did the Terrace hike, it is a fun one that we have done many times in the summer and winter. McKenna did a great job, she just hung out in her baby bjorn and slept most of the way. We traded off with her, but Dave was much tougher, he hiked up with her and I hiked back. I was a little worried going into the hike, but it went so well I can't wait to go again!
