Jan 2015 - Carmella\'s first hike at 4 months old in California. We did not go very far, but she loved exploring the open space and checking out every single rock along the way. By no means a serious hike, but to her it must have been so grand to see everything for the first time. She didn\'t know a whole new world was waiting for her! :)
