On Good Friday, we took a half day from work and drove to the Blue Ridge Mountains for some family time before getting ready for visitors for the next few weekends. The most exciting and unexpected thing that happened: Emmett hiked to the top of Humpback Rock all by himself! This is a well-known hike with rewarding views, and is short but strenuous. It's just about 8/10 of a mile up an elevation of nearly 800 feet. So, steep! Especially for someone who is not yet 3 years old - but he did it, and we could not have been more proud! For the record, we had the hiking backpack with us and he rode down. The ascent took us about an hour and 2o minutes, the descent about 20 minutes. :)
