Since we're praying for torrential rain, we've been getting outside to take advantage of the weather while we can :)
Over labor day weekend we camped up in Tahoe and took the kids on a six mile hike through some High Sierra lakes. Having hiked in the Rockies, Cascades, Andes, White, Appalachian and Himalayan mountains- there's still something about our home state's Sierras that is special. The stark contrast of granite gray slopes and deep blue lakes is inspiring.
Julie spent a long weekend with her nephew Logan getting settled at BYU-Idaho. He was very appreciative of her help and she was excited to find out his roommate is straight from Nepal! Yay Dal Baht!
This past weekend I took Lizzy on her first overnight backpacking trip. She was amazing- carrying a 15 pound pack for 11 miles over two days in the Caribou Wilderness. She caught her first fish- and after 6 little rainbows still wanted more! (catch and release- no animals were harmed in this production)
Emily is excelling in ballet and trying to decide between Julliard and The London School of Dance.
We love you all - come back home to visit!
