After.

Leave a reply

After Mima went into the sky, dad stayed home from work for a whole week.

The first thing we did was to get to where we could look out over the city and mountains that Mima loved so much.

image

Then we drove up to the big mountains and went on beautiful hikes.

Some hikes I slept through.

image

Some hikes had water shooting out of rocks.

image

(The water was loud. It woke me up.)

And some hikes were very short with beautiful views.

image

It was a good week together as a family, even though we were sad.

image

There is still so much beauty in the midst of sadness.

To trek.

To trek, one must start with a reliable set of shoes.

image

Find some shoes that will do the walking for you.

To trek, one must find trustworthy companions.

image

My mom and dad are my favorite trekking companions. For now.

image

Twizzle isn't trustworthy and he didn't carry anything, but he still makes a good trekking companion.

image

Grampy and grandma trek very well.

To trek, one must have protection from the elements.

image

A portable roof is highly recommended.

To trek, one must rest when one is tired.

image

I got to rest and continue to trek. Best shoes ever.

To trek, one must follow a reliable path.

image

It helps if the reliable path is also beautiful.

To trek, one must have an end goal.

image

This lake is named Isabelle. It is lovely.

image

I wouldn't know, I slept right through it.

So, go have your own trek…. just try not to miss the beautiful lake at the end of the trail.

The good things in life.

Allow me to share some of my favorite things with you.

First, my favorite toy is my rubber duckie. He goes swimming with me, but he is an all-around good guy.

image

Duckie is so squishy and blue. I love him.

I love harassing, I mean, playing with Twizzle. He is the best Chocolate Lab a baby could have.

image

Twizzle is so patient with me.

I love to suck on my thumb. It is so great that I have two of them and that they go with me everywhere.

Seven month photo shoot outtake.

And as much as I dislike naps, I enjoy finding new positions in which to take them.

image

Just expanding my horizons.

And finally, I love when dad gives me pieces of grass on our hikes. Oh, well, I suppose I should say both dad and hiking are also my favorite things… but poking mom with the long grass is definitely paramount.

image

Dad. Hiking. Grass.

As I get older, I love discovering the new wonderful things in life. Naps, shots, and not being allowed to play with iPhones are not on my list of wonderful things, but my list is very long and growing. It is good to be a baby.

Father’s Day.

Today was my first Father’s Day. Well, I guess it was dad’s first Father’s Day, too.

We went to Vail and drooled over skis,

image

I have no clue how to use these things. Mom says you need that white snow stuff first.

and ate at a Little Diner, (which is both the name and the description),

image

The Little Blogger made an appearance at the Little Diner. So fitting.

and then we hiked on something called a mesa. It was like a big flat table top.

image

Riding on dad's shoulders. Classic.

Happy First Father’s Day, dad! It was a good day, wasn’t it?

Hiking.

Leave a reply

You guys should try this thing called “hiking.” It involves getting strapped to someone’s chest and getting hauled up a trail.

image

Hiking is so easy.

It is a pretty great time, especially when you can get up close and personal to the big rock formations that could be seen from the hospital room on the day you were born!

image

Up close and personal...

image

...to those giant rocks in the background.
