Backpack Adventures

Our backpacking adventures started after Christmas. I decided to get this child carrier backpack for Chris for Christmas so we could go hiking again. I wasn't sure if he would think this was a great gift considering carrying Davis meant you were adding ~30lbs of dead weight to your back. We decided to give it a try and see if Davis liked it......



He was not so sure about this large apparatus.

Yes he is fussing and trying to get out at this point. Still not sure what to make of it all.

Ok now he is up and on Daddy's back... starting to have a change of heart. Maybe he can get used to this. We do not have pictures from the end of our first trip around the block but he definitely liked the adventure. He sat up and looked out over Chris's shoulder and let his little legs bounce along in the pack. Chris was a bit tired after our first trip as it worked some different leg muscles.


Our second trip was another success. Although this time it ended in him falling asleep.


We both had Martin Luther King Day off which was great since the weather was gorgeous. We went for a hike at the Eno River State Park with Aimee and Mark. We hiked about 5 miles total.
Yep he is sleeping again. There was no way he could have stayed awake for this whole hike.



Don't forget about good ole Hannah. She was excited about the backpack because that means that we now are able to go to our old hiking spots and let her run and get rid of some energy.
