Spring is HERE AT LAST!

Its 72 degrees and sunny so it's time for a Hike!




Yesterday was the first day in about 6 months that we could actually take Taylor outside without the fear of hypothermia or some sort of exposure related problem. It has been a long hard winter here in New England and we are all suffering from major cabin fever.

Kris had been doing some research into those cool backpacks that you use to carry your kids on your.... well.. on your back (duh). She found a sweet one called the Sherapani Rumba and so we got one.


The pack is amazing. I never thought I would be this pumped up about a kid carrying device but it is sweet. The day after it was shipped to us it turned out to be perfect for hiking so we went to our favorite spot the Bigelow State Park to check it out. We had a great time and covered quite a few miles through the wonderful Nipmuck State Forest in Connecticut. Taylor was quite content to enjoy the view from 6 feet above the dirt and leave all the work to Daddy.


It really is the only way to travel.
