I can drop my thoughts and just *be* in nature. The sun through the trees, sound of unusual bird calls, and smells of blossoms in the air — really are refreshing to my soul. Mark and Mason hiking

One of the reasons that my wife and I moved to Hawaii was to get more nature into our lives (from living in Japan). However, having a 7-month old son, means that I haven’t had so many opportunities to get out on hikes as I would like. Mason is almost 20 pounds now and too heavy to try to carry with the Baby Bjorn we have. But, I want to share the beauty of nature with him.

So, we bought a used baby backpack. We tried it last weekend on a hike through Tantalus. The hike was very nice. Mason fell asleep half-way through it, so Masako and I got a little “our time” together.
The backpack worked fine. Only problem was that my muscles were sore for days afterwards — guess I got too excited and hiked too much! ;-)
