Another Saturday afternoon of hiking


Last Saturday Mary (or Maymee) came over to hang out. Rich was on hunting trip #1 so I was on solo weekend #1. It was lovely (much like it is today. At least when he's gone we get good weather). Mary and I took the boys out to the Eagle River Nature Center to give our new hiking backpacks a spin. Much swankier that the others.

Noah hiking with Mary. We hiked out the trail towards Girdwood (obviously not going the entire way, it's 27 miles!) but we didn't see ANY people, and it was quiet and overgrown. Not wanting to be eaten by a bear, we turned around. Of course, then we started passing people left and right, in large groups, with their dogs. But it turned out well.

Noah and Mary mentally communicating. They do this a lot. Mostly forehead to forehead, but they must be getting better.

This is how Avery felt about the hike back. I told you the new packs were swanky. Very comfy. We had snacks on the deck and a little run around, and then back home we went.
