Growing Big and Strong

And pretty too. I had to include this nice picture of her. I know every mom thinks their child is beautiful but to me she is a beautiful child.

I got a new hiking backpack the other day. A really awesome fancy one in the hopes that someday this summer, my husband and I can go on a hiking/camping trip together. Anything that won't fit in our packs that we can't carry with us easily while we hike to our campsite won't come with us. So a good pack is important, especially for someone of my small stature. I'm not all that strong. This pack should help a lot with that.
So anyways, I took my new pack home and we were all admiring it. Sasha wanted to put it on. Fortunately it's empty but she was easily able to wear it. The pics above are her with my new, empty, light pack.

My husband brought out HIS pack, which is loaded with stuff and Sasha wanted to try THAT pack. We were impressed she lasted as long as she did:
Dad helps her hold it but she insisted he let her do it herself.
Wow, she was able to wear it by herself. It's not a light pack.
Nope, there she goes. Dad caught her when she fell backwards. She wanted to go back to my lighter pack after this.
I probably would have fallen over too. It was heavy by my standards as well.
