I miss those days. Got some great hikes in with the kids in the backpack. Once they start walking, those hikes slow down for a few years. I had my son in the pack during a winter walk and got onto some ice along the creek. I ended up jumping into the creek rather than falling down. I go soaked up to the nether regions, but my son luckily stayed dry. It was a brisk stroll home through the woods that morning! dwc
