Last week we took a little vacation to St. George to visit my Grandma and Molly (Mike's sister). On Thursday we went on a HUGE hike in Zions with tons of water and several short repels. Mike did some research and talked to a few friends who had done this hike in the resent past and they all thought it would be ok to take a 2 year old in back pack.
So we went out and bought Seppi his very first harness and thought we'd give it a try. I felt much better about taking him after that.
Seppi did AMAZINGLY. He was happy the entire time and even slept for about 45 minutes to an hour.
Seppi tried to repel and he was really close to coming down on his own but at the last minute decided against it and Mike repelled with him.
We saw cows, tons of butterflies, squirrels, birds and a rattle snake.. (thankfully the snake was still sleeping and we managed to walk past with out disturbing it or it disturbing us... I'm very afraid of snakes.)
There was only 1 part of this hike that really scared me. it was a slide into a big pool of water and the water was deeper than all of us. We didn't know how to get Seppi down that obstacle.
But Mike is a very smart guy and we figured something out and Seppi was safe. After that there really was no obstacle that we couldn't accomplish.
This hike was about 11 miles and it took us 9 hours to do. It was a great day, but I was a little delirious by the time we were done, ha ha.
Good times
