A couple weeks ago Mia and I picked up our buddies, Ben, Brendan, Abby, and Allison, and headed out to hike for awhile.  Mia was comfortably situated in her backpack, and thank goodness the boys were strong enough to help me by taking turns!  Allison, as young as she is, did an amazing job setting the pace up the big hill and back down.  In one of the pictures, you can see a radio tower at the very top of the hill... which was our turnaround point.  It was hot and sticky out, but we had a great time!  Allison even had a ride in the backpack! Thank goodness we left when we did because a giant thunderstorm rolled in soon afterwards!
