1 We enjoyed a nice hike up Mariner's Ridge today with friends Nancy and Laurie and Nancy's two doggies. Sam loved watching them bound up the trail! He laughed and talked all the way up.
2 Summit snacks!!!
3 Nancy kindly shared her snacks with Sam - he chomped about half of her sandwich I think, even though he'd just eaten a peanut butter and honey sandwich two hours earlier!
4 Sharing kisses with the doggies, too!
5 Lots of laughs when the doggies kiss him :)
6 This is not as precarious as it looks - not at all! There was a good amount of space to move around, and you can't see the ledges behind us. We are not on an edge here :)
7 Checking the dial to adjust the shock absorption.
8 Ok mom, all set!
9 Much of the trail was like this. Sam got to hike all the way down.
10 He loves to find letters and shapes on the trail. This time we found lots of shapes in the boot prints.
11 "Sammy is TWO!"

13 We had a great time. Check out those new sunnies! Julbo has great sun protection for kids - this is LEVEL 4 - sounds cool, huh? You need it here. It is so bright.
14 Little buddy showing me the way down. Could the sky be any prettier? We have been talking about the word "rustle" and what it means. The grasses blowing in the breeze provided good opportunity to hear a rustle. We also saw an old volcano (Koko Head) so we talked about that for a while, too. He loves to learn.
15 Panorama from the top. That's looking north toward where we live.
