Hiking with Chris and Megan

Yes, it's true, and we both agree: We are total wimps with this backpack. The extra 3o lbs--between the pack and our son--just about does us in. (Unfortunately, I think Brent and I both have bad backs to begin with.) But it's worth it, in my opinion, because I love to hike! And Gavin does too, and why wouldn't he when he gets a free ride with a great view? In these pictures we were out with our friends, Chris & Megan, and their kids, "hiking" in Golden. (These are just nature walks at this point, let's be honest, but fun and beautiful nonetheless.)
