I absolutely love hiking and doing anything "outdoorsy" or nature related so every time i come back to the east coast one of my favorite things to do is go see the beautiful park and go on hikes! This past weekend we went up to the poconos for the weekend and got to go on this beautiful hike. Kyler loved it so much he didn't want to leave ! He is just like his mama, he is a little adventurer !
