We got a lot of Aunt Kendra time today! We woke up and went for a long walk with her all the way to Mt. Tabor, up to the top, back down and to New Seasons (where you got your mustache sticker) and home. Then you went upstairs with her while Mama showered (you've been spending lots of time with your aunt away from your mama which makes me smile because I know how lucky you are to have such amazing aunts (& uncles too, of course!))

We took her to the Crystal Springs Garden - which you had only ever been to in utero. You fell asleep part way through and since I wanted you to nap as long as possible, your Aunt Kendra and I found a bench to relax on until you woke... You gave us over an hour to sit and chat uninterrupted! And it was AMAZING! Mama needed that (thanks Sweet Pea!!)

Sounds like a lot for one day, but we weren't done! Your uncles and Daddy got off work early and we headed to the Gorge to hike Horsetail Falls. It was bad timing both there and back for you and our trip involved a few stops along the way. It is the most difficult thing having you so upset in the car seat. I really hope you grow out of that stage soon and will ride with a bit more ease on longer trips! The car is pretty much the only place you cry, because any other time you are upset, we are there to get you and we usually can before it escalates into full on crying! The hike was beautiful, but I think you were done being tied in. I pulled you out of the Ergo pretty early in the hike and your sweet daddy ended up carrying you the rest of the way up and back.
