A Sunday hike with friends.

On Sunday I went for this hike with friends from work: Rachel, who is also from Minnesota, and Paul, his wife Jessica, and their sweet baby, Jacob (aka. Jake or Jake-y). This was definitely one of those instances where a mediocre hike was made unusually pleasant and enjoyable because of the company. I was a little disappointed in the hike. (Well, as disappointed as one can be with a hike in the mountains.) This was mostly because we followed the road quite a bit and the views were never very expansive. However, the day was beautiful, and I, of course, loved the company!





Jake is probably my favorite little man on the planet, and he was a super happy hiker. (Although, to be fair, he's basically just super happy all of the time. At least all of the time that I have seen him.) He sat in his hiking backpack and observed everything, when he wasn't totally passed out.







We hiked along a river for most of the time, stopping for a picnic in the woods along the way. We also passed through a placed called Anger, which amused us. It matches the place we saw while on our group retreat last year that was labeled "Place of Rage."







Our hike ended in a small village call Oey, which is quite fun to say. We had an entertaining train ride back to Zürich, with Jake amusing us and quite a few other people, including some old men whose hair he pulled and whose socks he charmed right off.
