Jonathan's First Hike


As you can see we tried out our new baby backpack this past weekend. We went up to the Shenandoah National Park and hiked Turk Mountain. Jonathan did great. He talked to us during most of the hike and loved being able to play with Mommy and Daddy's hair. Gibbs came with us and was beyond excited to lead the way! Most exciting moment of the trip happened on our way up to the Park. I was telling Peter how I would not handle seeing a bear very well when, no later than 30 seconds later, a small black bear ran out in front of our car. I screamed, Peter searched for the camera, Gibbs attempted to jump out window to play, and Jonathan sucked on his pacie. The view at the top was pretty amazing and we really could not have asked for better weather.


At the top! We are constantly amazed by God's Beauty that surrounds us. This picture looks a LOT more dangerous than it actually is. I was there to be the safety patrol. ha!
