Urban Hiking & 26 week bump!

Sunday, January 20th, 2013

Today we had a little adventure day in the city. We thought we would do some urban hiking and explore areas we haven’t yet seen. We started at Kite Hill, then hiked up to Twin Peaks, then down to Sutro Tower, over to Tank Hill, down the Pemberton stairs and then we finished up at Seward Mini Park for the best part, a few runs down a slide designed by a 14 year old.

Our wonderful friends let us crash at their place in Tahoe over the weekend and Brendan and I had the best time taking Page our for her first ski. It was important to make it fun for her and we tried hard not to push her into doing anything. I was expecting to just see her walk around the snow for a little bit but she was so determined to go up the magic carpet and ski and she wanted to do it all by herself! (And a side note she is finally going to the potty by herself!!!!)

Getting used to walking around on the sticks

First time on the magic carpet, by the end of the day she was getting on and off by herself

First time down the hill

She is smiling!

She wanted to test out the chair lift and go for a ride, maybe next time

Page was determined to go down the hill by herself so we bought her this harness that worked out really well. She still just wanted to go by herself though…

She has the stance down!

She is ready for the lift and big hill next trip. And then we will work on our pizza pie!

Time for a snack and hot cocoa in the lodge to warm up !

Holy smokes! It has been forever. We had a wonderful time in Australia, so many fun family get togethers and catching up with Brendan’s friends. We didn’t take too many pics. But here are a few from Brendan’s brother’s wedding where Page was the flower girl. She did great, made it down the aisle!
