Grammy's Visit

We had a few adventures yesterday and I finally remembered to take pictures. We walked to the park and had a picnic at Caleb's favorite little table. Camelback Park is a great park with tons to play on, but mostly Caleb loves to sit at the table and play pretend with the bark on the table. Only this time we got to eat sandwiches and Caleb loved it. We played for a while, then hiked up the hill a little so Caleb could dig in the sand (which he can also do forever).

Finally we were all ready to go and my mom wanted to go back home on the trails. I asked her if she was up to pushing the stroller up the hill and she said she was so off we went. I wish I had a video of it. I was carrying Annika in the front carrier and Mom was struggling to push what probably came to around 70 pounds including stroller, kid, and the stuff piled into the diaper bag and below the stroller up an extremely steep hill. At one point we really didn't know if we would make it and I put my hand on it to help. I didn't hear but apparently Caleb said, "Up the hill Grammy!" I was amazed my mother could make it up the hill, but she did. We were all in a sweat when we reached the top. Mom is dissappointed we didn't get a good picture of the hill we went up. However here we are at the top. Coming down was pretty steep, but not quite as bad. Amazingly Caleb can fall asleep on the bumpy ride and was asleep by the time we reached pavement again. We had a lot of fun.

Looks like a lot of fun. I bet you really like having your mom there with you.

Your mom looks so teeny tiny next to that big stroller. I bet Caleb was in seventh heaven!
