Love him

I couldn't resist posting these today.  Mostly because there are so many good ones from our hike, but because I know our family in CA will love them.

Sam and I went for a nice walk around Silver Lake yesterday while Dan and Re rode the Crest.  

He was in an especially good mood and wanted to cheese it up for every picture.

I love that he loves to hike and explore.  Makes us so happy!

 He looks so big to me in this picture.  He's growing into quite the handsome little man.

 We had to stop and check out every little hole and he had to "dig lots to find the critters"

 "there's so many, any ducks mom...wow!"

And just because...we all know Sam loves to swim and loves to pretend to ride a horse in there. Silly boy.
