Swimmies & Hiking

We bought Isabelle a pair of swimmies a few weeks ago and they have been amazing!!









We went for 2 hikes last week.. both may have been a bit ambitious for Isabelle but she did fairly well. This first hike was 3-4 miles around a local pond and the walk starting out beautifully with other hikers, kayakers and people at the beach.. Little did we know that with half the hike left - a huge thunderstorm would roll in. Thankfully we were close enough to a local swim clubs lodge and took cover. It was quite the storm and we ended up calling my dad to come "rescue" us.




Hike #2 - Mt. Tom
Slightly rocky terrain ;)
We had a few moments like this .. lol..
The tower at the top of the mountain..


The old stairs were a bit intense but it was well worth the climb to the top.





Emma loved the water bottle - you can't find a better toy!
This is how the hike ended.. daddy carrying both girls!

The last picture is the best! I love how Isabelle is all stretched out. So funny!
