Give Ethan a football or basketball and he’ll dig it for a few minutes. But give him the ocean or a mountain hike and he’s in his element - ready to go for hours, and never losing interest! This is one of the benefits of living where we do, as both are nearby. Today we ventured 5 blocks to a hike that I’ve been excited to take Ethan on for some time. Today he was ready, and said, “Take me to the top of the world Daddy.” How could I resist? These types of adventures with my son are precious, and I treasure them dearly.
A contemplative moment, combined with some bright mid-day sun and lens flare.

The prospect of encountering rattle snakes and mountain lions made the hike especially gratifying

These images are amazing! Your son will be so thankful for these when he’s a grown up. My dad took tons of photos of us while we were growing up too…
