Hike up Stevens Creek

Our first family hike with just us. It was quite enjoyable. The hike was easy and pretty short, I think that it took us a little over an hour to do the loop to the top and back. The hike is kind of in an interesting area because there are farms all around it and then there is this area that is richly dense with trees. It was a nice surprise.

Charlie ended up doing pretty well in the Ergo this time. He lasted all the way to the top with the help of some bread bites. He was extremely tired though and I didn't think to grab his pacifier before we went up. Andy ended up just carrying him on his shoulders the way back. 

 Looks pretty comfy, right?

 I ended up having to go in front of him because Charlie kept trying to turn around to see me. 

Hike up Tower Hill

I have officially gone on my first hike in Spokane! I have lived here for almost 5 years and never even thought about hiking any of the trails until a few months ago. So it worked out perfectly when Liz invited me to go on a hike up Tower Hill (also known as Iller Creek). I'd like to rate this trail as a medium, but then I realized I have nothing to compare it to. Also Line was able to hike all the way up by herself as long as you kept her occupied with a game or something, which probably means it is pretty easy. But man, my legs are SORE. But it was way worth it, I am definitely going to go with Andy sometime soon.

Maggie loves trying to grab Charlie (and his hair).

I'm really wanting Charlie to like his Ergo but so far he is a fan of the Moby. We ended up just carrying him up 75% of the hike because he might have started to cry 5 minutes into the hike.

We made it to the top! 

Maggie might have fallen asleep again :)
