Chase's Summit

Whenever we get the chance, Brian and I like to expose our son to the great outdoors. When fall was just starting, we made our annual trip to the Peaks of Otter. Upon returning to VA last year, we decided to go to enjoy the leaves and the beauty right here near the Roanoke Valley. It left such an impact that I wanted to ensure that this is a fall family tradition.

So this year, rather than being in the baby Bjorn, Chase ventured up to Sharp Top (the top of the Peaks of Otter) in a hike pack on his daddy's back.

He got to enjoy the view, take in his surroundings, sleep a little,
and even climb a little at the very top.
He even had his pocket bib on so he could have snacks along the way! Many a passersby made the comment the Chase had "the best seat in the house." But I know Brian looks forward to the day that Chase can hike alongside us! (Check out that Elvis lip. "uuhuuuh!")


Chase touching a horse for the first time. There's something about how soft their noses are that makes me happy! I think Chase liked the horse once he got over his big his nostrils and mouth!
