On Monday Ruby and I decided to go for a little hike. I had been thinking about hiking Mt. Rose for quite a while since moving here to Reno. Ruby and I headed up to the parking area (8000+ft) where we had a quick lunch. I then loaded her up in the backpack carrier unsure if she would like being carried that way. I figured I would hike for a bit and see how she liked it. Well after about two miles she fell asleep and didn't wake up until near the saddle at about 10,000ft. I fed her a bottle and we kept walking to the top. It was about 5.5 miles to the top (10,880ft). She did great! We had such a good walk in the mountains.

All in all we hiked 11 miles, stopped to change two diapers, drained one bottle, and applied sunscreen 3 times. Enjoy the pictures.
Lora went with us to swim lessons today so hopefully she
Lunch break and diaper change.
will put up those pictures and a few short videos of Ruby swimming. IT IS AMAZING!
Too cute!

Last weekend the three of us loaded up the van and drove 4 hours south down to Bishop, CA for a little relaxing weekend. We had the general idea of doing some flying but as is normal with this sport the weather didn't cooperate with us. We ended up doing some climbing in the Owens River Gorge on Saturday. It was great hanging out at the cliff with Ruby. We climbed with a great couple which let Lora and I take turns with Ruby at the base. Lora surprised herself by getting up two difficult climbs. She's still got it!
Our trusty Gumby van.
On Saturday evening we watched the sunset while soaking in a great little hot spring as a family. Don't we look like a happy family?
No words to describe how cute this one is!
The evenings were a bit chilly and here we are getting ready to read a story before bed. Ruby did pretty well. Although on Sunday we had our first experience with vomiting baby.
