Hiking at Starved Rock

Saturday morning we decided to go for a hike... This was the first time Sadie rode in the back-pack hiker. She wasn't sure at first, but she enjoyed it. It didn't take her long to figure out how to climb her feet up daddy's back to try and get out! She also discovered toward the end of our hike that she could pull daddy's ears and take his sunglasses--this was great fun for her! With Marc carrying our 23 pound baby and me carrying our 1lb. 2 oz. baby, we were tired after about an 1 1/2 hours of hiking. On our way home we stopped at a small local ice cream/hot dog place for lunch. It was a great morning! Sadie & Daddy

At the end of our hike, we let Sadie out to walk--she loved exploring the trail!
Daddy found her a "walking stick"--she proudly carried it until she broke it.
