First Hike

We enjoyed a long weekend as a family staying close to home. Today, we all reveled in the cooler temperatures and went for our first hike as a family since Amita was born (hard to believe that was 8 months ago already!). The weather was perfect and we all strapped on our hiking boots and did a little over a mile on trails at a county park. Amita did wonderfully and seemed to enjoy her free ride with Daddy (I think he'll be sore from carrying an extra 15+ pounds!) and the fresh air helped her take a nap afterwards. It was one of her few naps this weekend - the teething is back with a vengeance!

On the ride back from our hike, we stumbled upon a small bar (seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but actually less than 10 minutes from our house - not sure what that says about where we live!). The place was called Ox and Cat's. It had 2 signs we were interested in. One read "Pizza" and the other read "Open". We headed inside and ordered a pizza to go. 15 minutes later, we were driving our new favorite pizza home! We'll definitely be back there again soon!!

Here's a view of us on the trail. Amita was watching me to see if I'd make it before the 10 second timer went off!

Aaron and Amita admiring the hill they just finished climbing. It's also a sledding hill in the winter! Can't wait to test that out!!

This is Amita and Azzy enjoying some early morning time. She is always all smiles in the morning (after her feeding, of course!).

Another morning this weekend. Mama and Daddy are not nearly so chipper after being up several times in the night due to teething, but Amita is fresh as a daisy.

The only day this weekend where she could wear summer clothes. But she is adorable, no matter the season!

Amita wearing a retro shawl that used to belong to me. It was just the right extra layer on Sunday when we went to Plymouth. Grandpa and Grandma Bubb babysat while we we had some couple time at the fair. Grilled cheese sandwiches, teeny weeny donuts, and fried cheese curds are must-haves!

Hobbits love taterses. Amita helped Daddy cook breakfast this morning.

Amita was playing with Baxter today. He was just far enough away where he could keep snoozing, but Amita definitely squeezed his fur a few times. She also tried to "pet" him with the blue ring. Amazingly, he never moved! He let her do whatever she wanted - such good friends!!!
