Hiking!

On Saturday, we packed up and drove north to the White Mountains to try out hiking with Finn. We have done a lot of local walking, but we weren't sure how he would like a long hike. It turned out to be a fabulous trip and a beautiful day. It is definitely the start of a family tradition. We chose an easy hike where we could hit two peaks, North Sugarloaf and Middle Sugarloaf. I took a ton of pictures and I can never decide on just a few, so here are a lot of photos of our day:

The trail was lined with large granite boulders:

Some sections were quite steep. Sean most certainly got a workout with Finn on his back:

The summit! Beautiful views and a lovely breeze rejuvenated us:

Time for a snack:

Of course, we would have to splash in the rock pool:

Finn appreciates the big rock:

At the bottom of the mountain, there was a crisp, clear river and we enjoyed dipping our toes in and cooling off. Finn couldn't believe his luck in finding all these rocks to throw in the water:
