Labor Day Hike


mountain kids
Originally uploaded by Dan and Ann
Our Labor Day activity was a family hike up Mount Kearsarge, following delicious breakfast at the Foothills Diner. This is an ideal hike for kids because you drive almost the whole way up the mountain and the hike to the top is only half a mile. It's a fairly rocky climb up and Sadie had a great time pretending she was a mountain goat....lots of goat sound-effects as she climbed! Helena had a great time riding up in the backpack and then walking around at the summit.

The "bocanbulary"* words of the day were Summit, Vista and Cairn.

*Sadie can say vocabulary, but she likes to say bocanbulary because it's funnier.
