What a great Saturday!

We had a great day yesterday as a family!  When Hannah got up from her morning nap, we packed up lunch and headed to a state park nearby.  It has several Indian mounds, and lots of walking trails, and we intended to explore!  First we had a picnic lunch under a pavilion.
Then we got all of our stuff together and packed up.  I also found a great backpack carrier at a garage sale recently, so we decided to try it out with Hannah.  It took us a little while to get it all situated, but we finally got everyone comfortable.

Then we checked out the trail map and headed on our way. There were several huge mounds.  The tallest was 72 feet high!  We took the stairs to the top.  Hannah did pretty well in the carrier, as long as we kept moving.  But after a while, she got tired of it and wanted to get down and walk.  There was also a boardwalk area that we went on, so that was fun for her because it was easier to walk on that than the rough ground.  We thought some of those pictures were funny because we're walking along with her, or carrying her, but we have that big backpack thing on our backs!  Oh well! :)


Then we headed back home for an afternoon nap (for all of us!)  That evening we had a staff "get-together" at the Bruce's.  Hannah had tons of fun jumping on the trampoline!
