Last week, Sheena and I took Rebecca and Abigail to Irishtown Nature Park near Moncton for a little outing. It was Rebecca's first time going for a hike where she spent most of the time walking herself. Rebecca and Abby were excited to wear their backpacks, just like Mom and Dad. Abigail still likes being in a backpack, but also made short little jaunts here and there. We first stopped at the falls area by the old watershed dam site for lunch. We then took the yellow marked trail around the reservoir for about 2 kilometres, in a big loop that connects back to the dam. It was muddy and
wet, but Rebecca loved jumping over the roots and following Sheena and I through the woods. It was funny to see Rebecca really able to use her jumping jelly bean energy, and keep it up for the whole time we were there!
