BACKPACKING WITH DAD

Last week-end, Ryan got to take the "older girls" (don't tell Abby that I said that, she thinks that she is just as big :) ) on a short backpacking trip up to the Cascade Mountains. They went with our friends (Chris, the dad- and his daughters, Kelby and Maddy). The girls- ok, and Ryan and Chris were quite the troopers and when a super big mosquito infestation (no joke, Ashtin looked like she had the Chicken Pox AND the Measles!!) cut the trip a day and a night short, they hiked almost 10 miles in one day! They got to see some absolutely beautiful scenery and got to spend some quality dad and daughter time. After viewing the photos, I was a little jealous, but I did get to bond with Abby and the boys...
