Seems like we've been doing a lot of hiking lately.

| Conrad is very into hammocks lately. This is his big double one that can hold the whole family (if we squish). He also has an ultralight one that he sewed himself. |
Conrad and his brothers hiked Zion National Park for their first-ever Myler Mountain Man backpacking excursion.

| Chasing after waterfalls. |
A couple weeks ago we took a vacation on Cumberland Island. It is a national seashore only accessible by ferry. We camped there for two nights. Our second day we hiked 3.5 miles back to our next campsite. Coen did it like a pro! We even got him a special pack and he carried his own clothes, snacks, and water.
 |
| I got to carry Silas, who will hereafter be known as THE CHUNK. He is getting way too heavy for me to carry. |
 |
| Coen liked to climb this crazy sideways tree in our campsite. Silas wanted to climb it too. |
Wow! Look at the size of those packs!
And then of course, we also got to play on the beach!
Silas was an absolute nut in the water. He kept wading in and then sitting down in it. His goal seemed to be to sit in the water exactly neck-deep. And then he would roll around and splash and walk on his hands with his legs floating behind him. He also liked to examine the bugs on the sand. He does that at home too; he is always finding some little ant in the garden and pointing it out to me.
Coen was a good treasure finder. He found some very nice shells that we packed out with us.
Cumberland Island also happens to have beautiful wild horses! And terribly ferocious squirrels. They ate right through our food bag.
This is us exploring the ruins of the old Dungeness Mansion on the island. I like the second picture because Silas looks like a potted plant.
