another hike. another mtn.

This past Saturday I had nothing planned so Kev's default weekend activity is the family driving to the mountains and doing a 4 hr. hike. I was not feeling it at first...but it turned out quite pleasant.


This was our destination which was pretty gruelling to get to. I felt like I was climbing stairs for an hour straight.


Kev's ulterior motive for our family hike.

Kev doubles as a pack mule. He has to be packing an extra 50 lbs.



One little mishap. Ry took an accidental dive into the lake. No extra clothes, but she wore my jacket on top and kev's jacket for pants, and we were then left to walk down the mountain in the rain.

One of these days I hope to have pictures of us frolicking on the beach. I love the mountains but I would not be opposed to a nice beach get away.

this looks awesome! You could always call us to go.. but I think you know us to well. You know we would have plans to go do something surrounded by a concrete jungle.We are city folk to the max.

looks like fun. I love Kev showing a little leg while fishing. So did he catch one, gut it and fry it up as a snack?

I'm sad you had to go hiking without us. It couldn't have been as much fun. We will be back this weekend and ready to party again!

LOL!!! That is awesome that kev's "default" activity is a 4 hour hike. Much better than my default activity of "veg out on the couch until it's dark out". That backpack looked really intimidating....
