Toby's cousin Brooke and her family invited us a couple weeks ago to hike to the Timpanogas caves with them. First of all I have to say that Zeke idolizes his second cousin, Michael. He copies everything he does, or at least tries to. Being a year older, Michael can do a little more than Zeke, but that doesn't stop Zeke from trying. The boys started out great and hiking strong.
We took a lot of breaks for water, snacks, picking up rocks and sticks, admiring bugs and climbing any rock structure possible.
Robin and Janene also joined us on our hike and were a great help with all the kids.

Zeke spent a lot of time on his dad's shoulders. We were getting a little impatient with his hiking speed and were afraid we would miss out tour time. I am impressed with how much hiking he did on his own though.
Family picture.... notice the pregnant belly. Don't you just love that wonderful stage in pregnancy where you just look chubby and not really pregnant?

Inside the caves. I carried Zeke almost all the way through the caves for a couple reasons. 1-so we could keep up with the tour group 2- so he wouldn't touch anything he wasn't supposed to 3- he was getting really tired and grumpy, having missed his nap

That sounds very fun and VERY exhausting. I have very fond memories of that hike as a kid. Oh, and I think your belly looks very cute! I'm right there with you feeling chubbily pregnant. I finally last week gave into pulling out my maternity shirts. When are you due, btw?
Cute photos - Zeke was such a trooper! He definitely would have out-hiked Michael if we'd had the time. Thanks for coming with us!
What a fun trip! I can't believe Zeke made it all the way. Congrats on being prego! that's so exciting. I hate that stage when you look fat and people look at you like ok either shes gained a lot of weight or she's pregnant. Usually they assume the first one! Good luck with everything.
