First Hike of the Season

Uncle Nicho was in town and so we decided to take a hike. Its the first hike of the season. Daddy, Nicho, and I went to Russian Ridge. Daddy thought I would like to take a ride in the backpack carrier but I thought this year, I'm ready to do it on my own. I followed Nicho right up the hill.

The thing about walking on your own, is you can stop and take a closer look at all of the things around you, and as much as you like. I stopped at each of the rocks I saw (!!!) and took a close look at all the sand and dirt that was around. Daddy and Nicho were very patient.

When you take things slow, you get to the see all the best things. During this hike we saw a large fox. At least I think it was a fox, that is what daddy said and of course I believe him. It was a great view from the top. The clouds were covering the ocean but we could see the city and we looked down into the valley.

When we got to the top, the sun was beginning to set and I actually wanted to take my shoes off. I was pretty tired so Daddy carried me back to the car and I quickly fell asleep. I'm looking forward to more hikes with daddy this spring/summer.
