Day two: planned on doing a 3.5 mile hike to fern lake but we made it about a mile and a half and turned around...apparently Maya thinks the Kelty backpack carrier is worse than her carseat so after screaming "mama down" in my ear right from the start we hiked the rest of the time with me holding her and switching hips...being prego and doing that was a bit rough..and she wanted to walk at times too which meant we were going nowhere fast..change of plans and we stopped and watched papa fish some more...and threw more rocks...that made her very very happy again....btw since I thought we would be so far from the car the whole day we packed a hiking backpack full of snacks and drinks and brad said I might as well have put a 50lb weight in it..oops..the funny thing is carrying Maya ended up being lighter and the original plan was that brad would carry mai and I would do the food....

Drove around the park more and saw bear lake where we could push Maya in a stroller around it...now that is my kind of hiking..hahahha
and maya's fave thing:
Day three: went to Sprague lake which also was stroller friendly and Maya made some buddies who loved her dropping and later throwing her chips at them...we found another open spot by a river and played there until it was time to head home...maya napped all the way until castle rock so we had a 45 min drive left...she did great and when we got home popo and gung gung were waiting for us! Such a treat!
