Birthday hike

Today Mr. Dave turned the big Three O!  As it was his birthday he got to pick today’s activities and what he really wanted to do was go hiking, so we headed out to our favorite park.

It was a little overcast and cool today, which made it a perfect day to be out hiking and that also meant that the park wasn’t crowded at all.    Ajax had an excellent time.   He was all about running and then when he would get tired, we’d load him into the wagon and he’d snack on goldfish.  He had a little difficulty getting moving as he kept stopping to pick a up single leaf or stick and throwing them off the path; what a little cleaner.

After the hike we headed to a large playscape and let Ajax climb and swing.  He had such fun.  He also played with these two children, who I thought were about his age, but after speaking with the parents turned out they were actually 21 months and weighed about 22 lbs.  Ajax was a good 2 inches taller than each and currently weighs in at 28 lbs.  I was like, wow!

We actually know Ajax weighs 28 lbs because we were concerned he had an ear infection and Dave took him to the Doctor’s office on Friday.  No ear infection to report, but the Doc said his cuspids were coming in and his 2 year molars. Painful!

Getting ready to go!

Not sure where he's going, but he's off!
Dave thought he needed a little walking stick.
