When Iris was tiny, I hiked Mt. Philo with her lots & lots.

My sister Cate took this photo when Iris was almost five months old.

But now that Iris is bigger, she doesn’t like being carried around all day along.

This means I get less exercise, but Iris gets more exercise.

Today, we finally hiked Mt. Philo again. Our friends went with us.

Little E. and Iris hiked maybe half-way. After a little while, E. decided to take a shortcut.

Unfortunately, the terrain he chose was not too toddler friendly.

Iris and E. explored the summit.

Apparently, E. is pretty sweet on Iris…
