Hiking

We took Merielle on a day long hike in Garland Park, here in Carmel Valley. It is close to the house, and very family friendly. We had signed up for a guided hike, but missed the group, we were able to meet up with them later and learned a ton about our local flora and fauna on the way down.






The backpack was lent to us. I highly recommend borrowing baby equipment as much as possible. It is great when people can form a circle and each has an item to lend. It reduces the amount you have to store and lets others enjoy your purchase. Just be prepared to replace it if you damage it:)

Merielle, the growing weed

Merielle has figure out all the cabinets and which ones she can fit into....



She was so pleased with her self for getting in and out all on her own.

We have been able to get her more in tune with nature...here with Auntie Mary on the lawn.
