Falls Ridge Preserve with Sagan, 14 Weeks

This week, Ryan and I had a business meeting in beautiful, gorgeous, splendidly stunning Southwest Virginia. Our boss could not have scheduled a better time! We were visiting right in the midst of the changing autumn leaves.
The View From Where We Were Staying
Although the primary purpose of the trip was business, we had to sneak in a hike with Sagan as well. One afternoon when Sagan was awake, we drove over to the Nature Conservancy’s Falls Ridge Preserve.
When I lived in Blacksburg, I used to take my friend’s son, Penn, out hiking. Over the years, I managed to get a picture of my young hiking buddy in the same spot at Falls Ridge at two years old, five years old and nine years old.

This week, the tradition started again. Ryan and I got a picture of Sagan at the same spot. He needed a little help posing.
Some other shots I’m fond of:

Sagan was awake for most of our hike which was exciting. Of course in the end, he did what he usually does during outings with the Moby Wrap… he fell asleep. : )

Yay! You guys really rock traditions! I wish I could be better at that… doing the same thing at the same place the same time of day….with any kind of consistency at all! But oh well 🙂 I do remember those napping Moby-wrapped baby hiking days all too well. Any fun scat yet? haha Now our hikes are slower since Maddie wants to walk the whole (most of the) way… and usually there are MANY distractions! Either way, hiking with a babe really brings out the best in the experience, doesn’t it!!? Great pictures! Sagan is adoooorable!

Hahha no scat yet. And actually that day was quite the opposite. We were hoping for a “BM”. 🙂
