Mirror Lake, Mt. Hood, OR

My brother Brian and friend Shawn Clark went for a day hike with Wilson to Mirror Lake and then up to Tom Dick and Harry mountain. It wasn't a real warm day that day, the water was probably warmer than the air, about 70-75. But I knew as soon as Wilson saw the water it would first be throwing rocks into the lake, and then just wading and sitting in it. So we brought a change of clothes and of course he loved it. He also really liked hiking in the backpack. He would time his breathing with my steps because he was bouncing. He would yell and sing in time with my steps. He will be a little hiker soon enough, although I look forward to not carrying him. He is a solid little boy!
