In West Africa, Baby taught Heidi how to use a cloth to carry Trey on her back. That simple technique is a great way to carry a baby or small child. Forget fancy kiddie carriers, just grab a bed sheet and sling him on your back. When we were hiking a Great Sand Dunes National Park Heidi used a bed sheet she borrowed from Amy Torrence. Not only did it protect Trey from the wind and keep him warm, but within 5 minutes it put him to sleep.

We hiked up the Dunes Overlook Trail and were rewarded with a gorgeous view of the sand dunes and the stream that cuts around their east side.
