Sweethearts on the Hill

I decided to take a little stay-cation for the second half of this week… I was long overdue to simply unplug from work and spend some time with my people. After spending one day in the fabulous fountains of Market Square and the second day in bed with a horrible migraine (the worst in years… during which my amazing 7 & 8 year old took the best care of the wee little one for me) , we decided to really do up day #3 in a big way. We invited my nephew Logan along to do a 5 mile round trip hike on the Abrams Falls Trail. The best adventures always await us in the Great Smoky Mountains. Sweet baby Luke was as perfect as a baby could be on a hike like this. He completely chilled out the entire time on my back… singing his ABC's, talking about the trees, and keeping Sam, Charlie, and Logan in his sights. It's a great trail with plenty of downhill and uphills climbs throughout, never leaving you entirely exhausted. And, of course, plenty of nature to be discovere...

It doesn't get much better than this…. running around in your birthday suit during the dog days of summer! A privilege enjoyed by only those that have the belly and booty still fluffy enough and cute enough to show off to the world. Luke had no reservations about showing off his cuteness to the neighbors of Dunbarton Oaks. It all started with some Charlie time in the blow up pool... Before too long, Luke snuck off into the front yard to play a game of tag with the sprinkler.   As far as I'm concerned, Luke won the battle with the sprinkler. Hands down! Off to his next adventure... Time to go get the mee-oh… A little booty love on a hot summer day!
