Last night we took the girls on a hike on the Tabeguache trail near the Colorado National Monument (which is pictured in the background below). Toby carried Elise in a backpack and I carried Claire in the Sleepy Wrap. Elise also walked some of the trail once it leveled out a bit, although she was way more interested in playing with the soft sand on the trail. Claire did great as well, although she required a short dinner break at our mid-point stop. :)
Claire slept almost the entire time. Sleepy Wrap is the perfect name for my new favorite kiddie carrier.
The first half mile or so was a steep climb up. Once we were near the top, Toby got Elise out the backpack and she was thrilled to hit the trail.
Beautiful sights in the distance: the Bookcliffs on the left and the Grand Mesa on the right.
I wouldn't normally pose for a breastfeeding shot, and I wasn't posing here. Toby took this picture without me knowing it, and I have to admit I think it's pretty sweet (and blog-appropriate). :)
While I was with Claire, Toby and Elise did some rock climbing. Above: Elise celebrating a successful first climb. :) Below: What she climbed (with lots of daddy's help while I turned away and said prayers for her safety). :)
