Decided to take Mr. Tag down to Havasupai Falls because, why not?
Packing for all day adventures is soooo simple with a baby… Note to self, babies’ need way too much stuff…
One of us was awake…
He did well for most of the hike in, nursing and sleeping like a baby does.
Boob
Another baby on the trail!
Per usual he was very uninterested in the awesome views…
No? Ok then….
At some points he was awake and even got to enjoy a little of the falls. Though is was a little cold for such a little guy.
Aaaand, back to sleep….
What I learned on the way out is 11 1/2 hours of my shannaingans is all he is willing to tolerate.
Awake baby on the trail!
While singing dancing and overall being crazy would keep him happy for a moment, he was unwilling to calm down totally until he was out of the carrier. -Sigh- Nothing like carrying a baby in your arms at the end of a 12 hour day on the CLIMB out….
But we made it. It was fun, and I learned I am terrible at taking care of my calories. With nursing him all day and hiking I need to figure out just how many calories I need so I don’t feel awful the next day. FOOOOOD! A work in progress!
You know the amazing feeling of cleaning yourself up and getting changed at the trail head after a long day on the trail? Yeah I don’t, but Tag sure does…
