Rattle Snake Ridge A Few Weeks Ago


 
 
See those little legs. Well, those little legs completed a four mile hike! What a trooper. Were starting her young. :) And yes she did it happily for the most part. There was the time when we were still about a 1/2 mile from the top when she kept asking "Are we there yet"? "Are we there yet"? "Oh, my legs are getting tired". But nothing that couldn't be cured by an imaginative story about fairies trapped by angry goblins who grunted and snorted but were easily dissuaded by the kind fairy princess who, when presenting them with their favorite freshly baked macadamia nut cookie, stopped grunting and decided to free the fairies back into their magical fairy forest. 

Oh and then there was also the time that I didn't help her squat quite enough and Liv peed all down the back of her pants, and had to hike about 1and1/2 miles with a wet behind. Yea. What a trooper. Other than that it was a great success.  It was so gorgeous. It made us think of the time three years ago when we first came to Washington and hiked it. Now add three years and two kids. Wow. We've been productive haven't we?
