Bear Mountain

We've started a bucket list of things we must do before we return. One of the places was Bear Mountain, about an hour drive away. It's a state park and has a reputation of being a good day out. So last Sunday we set off with Bruno in tow and packed lunches.

This was the mountain. 

We started off walking round the lake. I refused the first route as it looked far too steep with a child each on our back. So we picked an alternate and seemingly more popular route up the mountain. It was a tiring but great hike with worthwhile views. Here are some photos.

Lunch... Eating outside with a 1yo is never easy!

Matt had the short straw on what/who to carry

The boys enjoyed the playground afterwards. Ethan was too busy playing 'emergencies' for a photo.
