There was one point, though, when we were trotting up to the Mount of the Holy Cross, that I suddenly wondered at the wisdom of hiking alone with 2 little peeps and a baby. Thankfully the only critters we encountered were deer, bunnies, birds and squirrels. Ravenous squirrels. If you've ever come across them, you know what I mean. Like the ones up in Rocky Mountain National Park? Those suckers are so pampered with all the visitors feeding them. What is the point of this? Oh, right - the squirrels. I stopped to tie a shoe for S and by the time I stood up, they had dragged off a bag of trail mix P had next to her while she tossed rocks into the creek. Like I said, ravenous squirrels.

haha....I've done this a number of times. Start happily hiking w/ 3 little people and suddenly, once I'm quite far from the car and my cell has no coverage, I think, "wait...what happens if a bear comes along, or one of us gets bitten by a snake??"
BEAUTIFUL pics!
What a priceless & beautiful day with your kiddos! We will have to check out this hike next time.
