i heart ak

yesterday, we trekked out for our first butte climb of the year.  the truck temp registered at 72 degrees when we left the parking lot, making it a perfect day for a hike.   bobbie anne with her two little ones (madisyn 16 months, gaige 3 months), mandy and jack and i.  we turned some heads, let me tell you.  a lot of comments like, "man, you guys are brave!" or "woah, tough ladies!"  and after hiking, i concur!  about half way up, bobbie anne and i looked at each other and practically in unison said, "these babies could walk!"  sure enough, they were both raring to go.  we were very impressed with how far they walked.   and most of the time, jack would pull his arm away, not wanting any help.   hiking last year was nothing compared to hiking now with an extra 30 pounds on your back.  but, we made it, laughed the whole way, and were rewarded at the top with endless sunshine and endless laughter because of the tots.  this is the first of many hikes this year...
