This weekend we decided to escape the city and head to the mountains. Unfortunately we missed peak season for fall leaves, but it was still beautiful. On Saturday we did a 5 mile hike that was pretty flat, and on Sunday we did a shorter 3 mile hike that was very hilly. Dave did the brunt of the heavy work – with Sophie on his back the whole time.

It was chilly out so Sophie was suited up properly

Sophie can now pull herself up and does so every chance she gets. She’s quite proud of herself here.
