M is almost finished with his summer term at Kellogg. To celebrate we are planning on taking a little family vacation to explore Arizona. We will stay in Scottsdale and visit places like Sedona and the Grand Canyon. But before we go, we needed to purchase a baby backpack carrier. I headed to REI, our favorite outdoor store, to see what they offered. C wasn’t all that happy having people place her in all the different packs. But, she seemed to like it once she was strapped in and up on mommy’s back. I picked the one that was most comfortable for me and for C in our price range. It ended up being the REI brand pack.

Yesterday we tested it out. C absolutely loved it. We hiked for about two hours without any problems at all.

In fact, this is just how comfortable little C felt in her new seat on top of the world…
