Back from Backpacking ~ Content, Tired & Hungry

Nobody reads blogs posted on Sunday nights. I don't particularly care. We just got home from our first "carry everything on your back" trip. The weekend was phenomenal in so many ways. Not what I necessarily expected but so much more!

I will talk about it more this week but I just need to post these photos tonight. Now. That's how awesome our time was.

Go out into the woods with your kids. Set up a tent. Enjoy the sun while it lasts. Sit in a shelter all day in the rain. Play go-fish snuggled in your sleeping bags. Watch the sunrise over the mountains. Pack it all up again and carry it down the mountain. Pick blackberries on the way.

G'nite all.

I pre-trip post yesterday as the rain was coming down and wondered how you were doing. I am glad you guys had a good time. We climbed Bradbury today and took a nap at the top- all three of us. Nowhere near the level you guys are at but a start.

oh my goodness, those sun rays! i haven't backpacked in quite some time, but it was one of my favorite times. there's something special about backpacking and just picking a spot wherever you want. someday perhaps we'll get to go with you. and gosh, celine is looking more and more like you every day. i can't wait to hear more!
