On Memorial Day, we decided it was time for Fenn to go on his first hike. We're thinking of going out to Colorado later this summer and needed to 
make sure he likes hiking. As usual, he loved it. He seems to love anything that has to do with being outdoors. We went to Cades Cove, almost an hour away, and hiked part of the Abram's Falls trail. Fenn was getting a little fussy in his car seat (a very rare occurrence) as we were arriving at Cades Cove. But once we put him in the backpack carrier, he was all smiles! We didn't make it to the falls since this was Fenn's first hike. We didn't want to push our luck and hike in 2.5 miles then have a miserable baby on our hands. We kept it short and only hiked in about 30 minutes and then 30 minutes back. We heard lots of "AWWWWs" and "What a cutie" on the hike. 
Fellow hikers are a very friendly bunch, always saying Hi to the people they pass. A couple of times, it even sounded like Fenn was saying "Hi" back to them. It was a really pretty hike, and 
hopefully we'll make it to the falls next time. Our plan is to start hiking every weekend.... key word being "plan". As suspected, by the end of the hike Fenn was worn out. That photo was taken back at our car. He had passed out with his face down and a pacifier in his mouth.
