We went on a family outing a couple saturday's ago. Eliza wasn't happy about going at all, because her friend was suppose to go but ended up not being able to come. But by the time we were finished with our hike she was in much better spirits! 
We decided to go to the Old Salmon River Trail. It is in just west of Zig Zag, Oregon on the way up Mt. Hood. We had a great time showing Eliza all the different vegitation, fungus'determining the age of fallen trees, why the trees fall and decay, and sharing stories of when Ryan and I were kids on hikes with our families. 
It was really fun!! And Mary just kept saying wa wa. I 'ant wa wa. She wanted to go to the river that we were hiking along. 
I carried her on my back about 3/4's of the way in and then she decided she wanted to walk and walked about 1/2 the total hike of maybe 1.5 miles.
