Gabe went on his first boys trip. He was recruited by Daddy, Papa, and his Uncle Ryan (Jake’s dad & brother). They went hiking and camping in the beautiful wilderness – up Mount Baldie, near Show Low. Gabe had the time of his little boy life doing man things and having lots of daddy-son bonding time up in the cool weather and green. While they camped in a camper trailer, Gabe did get a chance to rough it on the all-day hike. Daddy bought a baby carrier off Craigslist and carried him a good deal of the way, but I was still impressed at how much Gabe managed to do by himself. They had a great time, and I’m sure there will be many more of those to come.
Needless to say, the girls (plus Liam) were left at home in the heat. Naturally, we had to make the most of it by doing girlie things. Like going to the salon and getting Ariana her first haircut ever. Going out to lunch with Nana. Swimming with Aunt Marci. And then obliging Bella’s lifelong wish that we all do our makeup, dress up in our wedding dresses, and dance to Disney soundtrack ballads. And take pictures. Yes, we did all of those things. The boys would have never stood for such a quantity of silly girly-ness all in one day. And we would have never stood for nine miles of hiking in one day. So there ;). I’d say we’re even.
