Backpacking at Red Box

We took Mary on her first backpacking trip and she had a great time. She loved hiking, picking flowers, and being outside. It was a short 2.5 mile hike each way.

Camping at Prado Dam

We love to go camping every month but it is a little harder in the winter but after finding some warm sleeping bags for everyone we just had to take a short trip. Mary had so much fun crawling around and getting dirty. We all had a great time.

Picking Lemons

Mary loves to play in the backyard and also pick lemons off our tree. We are enjoying the great weather in the backyard almost everyday.

Videos of Mary

Mary has been so active lately and she gets into things we don’t want her to very quickly. She wants to walk more and more each day and loves to eat all kinds of foods.

Bike Ride

I love to take bike rides but we tend to not go very often because of Brian being so busy. This one was on a very nice paved trail next to a man-made river. There were a lot of road bikes on the trail and a few walkers. We stopped at a park and ate a nice lunch while playing with Mary. It was a good day to be outside.

Long Beach Aquarium

We took a nice trip to the Long Beach Aquarium with the Fishers. Mary had such a great time splashing in the touch pools and wanted to touch the birds so much.

Mary’s First Snow at Big Bear

Mary got some snowsuits and boots for Christmas so we could take her to the snow. We drove to Mt. Baldy and there was basically no snow and hundreds of people trying to sled in about half an inch of snow on top of rocks. So then we drove to Big Bear which is a higher elevation and they had great snow. We drove a while and found a nice place with no other people around. We went snowshoeing  around while pulling Mary in her stroller which we made skis for and it worked great on the snow. It was pretty warm in there too. We all had a great time.
