Sanitas

Hiked up Sanitas with Mia and Anya. Started up the South Ridge just after 10 am. Mia hiked, and Anya rode in the Sherpani. Warm day. Just a minute in, Mia had to change to shorts. Mia did really well on the steep hike. She had to stop and rest lots of times, but I wouldn't let us take a long sit-down break (mean Daddy!). We topped out in just under 1:10. We hung out on top for a long time, eating snacks and climbing around on the rocks. Went to start down the East Ridge, and Mia needed a bio break, so we headed north into the woods. Mia did really well coming down the steep and rocky East Ridge trail, but when we hit the Valley trail, she started fading. Anya was asleep in the backpack, so I didn't want to stop for a break and risk waking her. Played a few games with Mia (following the leader, etc), promised her a Chik-Fil-A milkshake if there was no whining, and we finally worked our way down to the car. Probably would've been better off coming down the South Ridge. Right around 3:00 for the roundtrip.
