Summer Chp.6- End of the Summer Backpacking Trip

I am sure you are tired of reading about last summer. But for posterity sake, it must be done.

The weekend before school began Martin and Greg took their oldest kids on a hike in the Three Sisters Wilderness.

Left to Right - The hikers, as relayed by Parker, are:

Lowden- AKA "The Squito Master" because he barely got bit at all by mosquitoes

Martin- AKA "Sweaty Yeti" because....why? I don't know why.

Parker- AKA "The Sneakster" because I'm good at card games.

Morgan- AKA "Captain Morgan" because she was usually in the front of everybody

Olivia- AKA "Sweet Veins" because ALL the mosquitoes were after her.

Greg- AKA "The Huckle Hunk" because he really really, really, liked huckleberries!

Here are some highlight pictures:

Um....no one told me my kids would have to cross a river?!!

Is that a bear cub in the tree? No. It's PARKER!!!

And look it's the bear cub's older sister!

I'm with Morgan. The shore looks warmer!

Might as well have a snack while your waiting!

Only YOU can prevent forest fires!
