Playing Hookey!

There is nothing better than doing fun things on weekdays and thinking (briefly) about what we'd be doing if we were at work. On Thursday instead of working Matt and I took McKenzie on her first official hike. It was a beautiful day in the Northwest on Thursday, just a light drizzle to keep us refreshed as we hiked up to Wallace Falls.


My sister has this great baby backpack that McKenzie loves to just hang out in and Matt got the pleasure of carrying 20 some odd pounds of extra weight up to the falls. McKenzie loved seeing all the different plants and the river but her favorite thing was the five dogs she saw. She can say 'dog' so she shouted at all of them and did her famous two handed wave. The dogs were all very impressed.


We made it up to the lower falls shelter and then we had some lunch and decided we were getting a little wet to go any further so we packed up and headed back down. McKenzie zonked out after about five minutes and slept the entire way to the car.
