Littlest hiker......at least for the day :)

On Sunday we took Amber on her very first hike. We thought we would pick a melo route for her maiden voyage, however, Mt. Seymour had other plans as there was up to 7ft of snow left in some parts of the path! At first we had second thoughts as to whether we should continue with the mission, but figured that since we put in all the effort to get there in the fist place we should press on.

At first the path seemed a little treacherous, but the sun warmed the majority of the trail so it was soft enough to get some traction. There were, however, a few near wipe-outs along the way due to thinning snow and I lost my foot momentarily to a tree well. Luckily Amber was oblivious to what was happening and slept for the duration of the hike.

Once we reached the lookout point we had a little rest and a mini picnic. I'm not sure if Amber truly appreciated the view, but she seemed to appreciate not being pressed against sweaty mom any more!

 All in all it was a successful day: no meltdowns, no wipe-outs and a great view for lunch :)
