Hike up Knox Mountain

I hate being reminded of just how out of shape I am. Erik and I hiked up Knox Mountain with Mandi and Sawyer yesterday and it was awful! I felt like vomiting and I was huffing and puffing all the way up. Mandi was carrying Sawyer in her sling and she did a better job than I did. Ridiculous. She's two years younger than me and I pretend that makes all the difference - never mind the fact that she had a baby 3 months ago.

This is about half way up... if that. Look at all the smoke! We don't have any fires in Kelowna, but there are (apparently) a bunch surrounding us.

Bean needed a break part way up (Auntie did too, but wouldn't admit it). We aired her out half way up. Isn't she cute?

Love this girl. Love her.

Trying to face outward in her sling. Looks nice and cozy! I love when it looks like they have rubber bands around their wrists.

It apparently didn't work too well. Don't worry, she wasn't being choked... I checked many times. She was happy just to chew on her mama's hand.

I know this isn't a good picture of either of us, but I wanted to show you how much smoke their is. It was worse last year because the fires were closer, but check it out.

I got to snuggle with Sawyer on the way down the mountain. We took the road back because we didn't want to slip down the hill... there were parts that were quite steep. We snuggled chest to chest though so Bean didn't slide out like on the way up :)
