High as a kite

No, not this evening's clouds;
this teenager!
A 40# pack for a two-day trip; oh, my!
Rick decided to take Brian camping for Fathers Day weekend, and Brian couldn't be more excited. Brian's best friend and his dad are going, too. It will be the inaugural trip for Brian's new backpack, an 8th grade graduation gift from his grandpa.

I've agreed to participate in a slightly longer family backpacking trip sometime this summer to celebrate Brian's 8th grade graduation. Here's hoping my knees hold up!


That's it for today from . . .

Yes and YES, Theresa and Mama Pea! ("And now I do the dance of joy...." Anyone else remember that sit-com?)

I used to carry a 40 lb pack. Ah, the good old days before we had a farm ;-). Enjoy your weekend!

Hope he put his hiking boots on before going out the door :-)

Those were the days! Hiking and camping ~ I still enjoy, as long as it's not too far. Lucky you though... I see lots of help!
