SR part 3, "hiking"



Today we went hiking, or attempted to.

After parousing Bend's outlet malls (for those wondering, very similar to North Bend, WA's outlet malls, just TAX FREE!), we headed to Smith Rocks to do some hiking and possibly see the "Monkey Face" rocks.

It was 80 degrees when we started off with zero humidity so it made for a very hot hike. Not my favorite. Poor Matt eventually ended up with not only Cadence in the back pack, but her diaper bag that I initially carried. I wasn't adequately hydrated for the hike so I wasn't much fun to hike with.

Per her norm, Cade fell asleep in her back pack for most of the hike, half waking up occassionally to drop her bink, cry a few times, eat some cheerios and then go back to sleep. We hiked for around 2 hours and saw some gorgeous scenery as well as some of the rock climbing routes that Matt used to take when he was in college. I learned something valuable today, rock climbing isn't and never will be my "thing". Too high up, too dirty, too expensive, time consuming and it would totally wreck a manicure. No thank you.
