A few weeks ago my sisters friend wanted to hike Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, so I asked if I could go. Mark had to work, so Laura was kind enough to pack Dayler for me. My mom was worried about me going along so close to my due date, and Dayler being so small that she came too.Dayler made it half way to the top on his own, then Laura packed him the rest of the way up, then back down. He loved it. Mom!? Yes Dayler? We're hiking!? Yep we are hiking. (5min later) Mom!? Yes Dayler?...
While Dayler was hiking every one that passed us on the trail was amazed how far he had hiked 2miles uphill. Then Dayler would give them all high fives. My little man takes after his Dad when it comes to hiking.
Laura thought that is was funny the way people would look at me, but an extra 30 lbs of baby is nothing compared to the 45 lbs of ropes and other canyoneering gear that we are used to packing.
For those of you who don't know about Angel's Landing it is a 4 mile hike up to the top (that is as far as we went), then another .5 miles out to the point (using chains to stay on the cliff). Dayler will have to wait about 9 years before I will let him do the last .5 miles. It is the most popular hike in Zion because of the view from the top.
It was a lot of fun!!!!

You are a mad woman! I love you! That sounds like a hike I am going to have to do sometime! When is you due date?
man did you see that pregnant woman hiking. She is some sort of crazy.
Wow Megan! That is the best word that comes to mind. I hear they make T-shirts for that hike. You should have one that says you did it pregnant!!
