The Rope Swing Hike

The hike that we go on a couple times a week has been dubbed The Rope Swing Hike. It has been made famous by the Flanders family. Which, for those who don't know, is Sean's mothers side. So we went up last Saturday (Friday too) with Justin and Megan and their nephews Kimball and Cole. Normally we hang around at the top for ten minutes or so before heading back down. This time we stayed for at least a half an hour playing on the Rope Swing. So here are a few fun pictures of the boys (I didn't get any of Kimball and Cole) taking a turn on the swing.

Jack - who hates the feel of the rope so he has trouble hanging on.

Hiking in Ogden

Just off of 30th street in Ogden is a trail head with many great hikes. We (Sarah, Sean, Jack) met Amber, RD, and Rylee Miller to go hiking on one of the many. We packed up the kiddies and started making our way up one of the trails. It was a cool day and being out in nature is always fun. On the way back Jack decided he was big enough to hike down himself. He grabbed our hands and had the time of his life walking himself down the mountain.

Rope Swing Hike

We decided to do the Centerville rope swing hike today. AKA the river hike. Ryan Babinsky has been asking me for about 4 months to start hiking with him and I've put it off till now. We are ready for you now Ryan. It was a lot of fun and very salubrious. It is wonderful being outdoors, breathing fresh air, and carrying a 30 pound load up the mountain.

This is Jack on the way home from the hike. He fell asleep in about 23.2 seconds. For some reason he has been pretty attached to his binky lately.
