Quite A View

Taking advantage of the midnight sun we headed out one evening for a hike to the top of the butte overlooking Palmer & the Knik Glacier. It was a little steeper & longer than we thought was do-able for the toddlers, but we all made it up high enough to get some great views. Avery was devastated when she had to come down with us and not continue on to the top with aunt Jill & uncle Matt, but it was already way past bed time, so down we went.

Matt takes off ahead as the rest of us start heading back downHmmmm, how dirty can she possibly get? I made a mudpuddle in the bathtub that night pre-rinsing the pants before they went in the washerDownhill resting against the treesJordan & daddy did it! Jordan's first hike in the backpack carrier, and second hike ever (the first was last fall also during a visit with Betsy, here in Vancouver, I see a theme developing)
