this is a delayed post too, but i couldn't resist sharing these pictures.
for future reference... if you are in need of a good workout, strap a thirty-five pound kid on your back and go hiking. really, it is fun!
the babies toddlers {LOVE} to ride in the backpacks! mari tends to fall asleep eventually and azariah quietly takes in all of the sights. i seriously can't think of a time when they were grumpy while on a hike.
meshach impresses me with his energy and stamina. typically i am the one slowing the group down by asking for breaks. :o) he loves to explore and find little creatures.
this is my new favorite recent picture of mari...such a beautiful little girl.
we spent quite a while hanging out near the top and eating snacks near the river. (oh...did i mention my brother came too? ha ha ha! he carried mari. there is no way i could carry both of the little ones! not sure why i didn't get his picture...) chipmunks joined us and we gladly shared our crackers. it was so fun watching the kids take in the whole experience. i can't wait someday to experience this with my own kids.

Charis - when Mari was with us, she spent alot of her time in a front pack. She would always fall asleep on my chest and I loved to kiss her little head that way! It is fun to hear how she keeps her old habits!
