Morning hike in Mission trails

James and I use to love to hike all the time, that's BB (before baby). We have this gorgeous hike not far from our house, Mission Trails and once last year we got fancy and bought a nice backpack for Isabella to sit in and went out for a hike. Unfortunately about 20 minutes in to the hike Isabella did not want to sit in the backpack nor did she want to walk, all she wanted was for me to carry her which made the hike something of a tortyr and we never went out again.

Last weekend it was very nice morning ( I know we live in sunny land and don't have many bad ones) and we decided to give the hiking another try. This time it went much better and a matter a fact we started out with her walking and after a short while she begged to be carried....not by mom but rather in the backpack. Whoooohooooo!!! She sat there happy as a clam and we truly enjoyed the hike.

ISo famously everything is big in America, even the cacti . You would not want to sit down on this one for sure.
