Here in Casper we are lucky enough to have a cute lil' mountain--Casper Mountain! It's not quite the same as being surrounded by rockies with never-ending trails, but we're so glad it's here.
Last month when the weather was still consistently nice, we went for a family hike on the Bridle Trail. It exceeded all my Casper Mountain expectations. It had a couple great overlooks, a babbling creek you have to cross, a variety of trees, and a cool little tunnel.
^^The best picture to ever exist.
The more time Jack spends outside, the happier he is. Unless it's been longer than 2 hours. Then he turns into a dinosaur and ugly screams all the way home. This hike was just a little longer than homeboi can handle at this age. I think it was like 4 miles round trip? I had to feed him once on the trail and he took one backpack nap, but the last mile was a bit rough as he just wanted out of his pack and into his crib.
Look at that perfect little baby face! Jack has the best blue eyes. Hopefully we'll get to go hiking once or twice more before the weather completely quits on us this year. Jared's schedule is pretty horrendous for the next 3 months but I'm hopeful.
