Saturday we took off on a family adventure. We set out to top one of our favorite hikes near Lake Winnipesaukee. Each hiking with a kiddo, we made it to the top of one hot and sticky Mt. Major. Other than the heat and humidity we couldn't have chosen a better day for the hike.
All the way up Jude was on patrol. His job was to make sure that we were heading in the right direction by pointing out all of the orange stripes (repeatedly....). Joel took the zig-zag approach up the mountain, allowing Jude to touch many of the blazes.
Jude was also on the look-out for our friendly orange salamanders. He needed to remind Jack in a sing-songy voice, "Don't eat the salamanders."
We were delighted when we got closer to the top to find lovely patches of wild (organic) blueberries. We took our time getting to the top while stopping to fill our bellies with the berries.
Once on top we had wonderful views of the lakes region.....
Jude got to climb on the rocks....
And Jack continued to sniff about....
Levi rode up on my back and slept soundly on my chest on the way down...
