Chimney Tops

Oh, a hiking we will go...

Brinley is now big enough to ride in her hiking backpack. I have been waiting for this moment ever since members of the ORHS math depetment gave us this at the shower.

Brinley's head bearly peaks out.  That is why this photo is taken from uphill.

We thought Brinley should start her hiking career off right.  So her first hike was to the Chimney Tops in the Smokies.

Here we are at the trailhead.

Not a lot of sunscreen is required in this setup.  Only her eyeballs are exposed.

Not even her eyeballs show when she takes a mid-hike nap.

 

We made it as close to the top as was reasonable with a baby.

The only part we didn't climb.  Can you see why?

Here we are back at the bottom.
