Labor Day Weekend on the Mountains
Family R got to go hiking and visiting local mountains on Labor Day weekend. Rarely are Mommy R and Daddy R off on the same days so it was nice to do things as a family.
On Sunday, we went to King's Mountain where we hiked to the summit. Here's a picture of us at the top:
Yes people, that reads 3226, and that's FEET!!! The hike was 2.5 miles long and felt like it was straight up. There were some grades that were steeper than a 45 degree angle (that was told to me by Daddy R, in the middle of an exceptionally difficult stretch. I think he was trying to encourage me but it didn't work). Anyhow, we borrowed a backpack carrier from a friend and Daddy R CARRIED LM ALL THE WAY UP!!!! And not only that, but he wasn't even that tired at the end of it all!!! I, by the way, was EXHAUSTED!!!
On Monday we went to visit Mt. St. Helens in WA. Here's a few pictures of LM in the carrier and in front of Mt. St. Helens.
All in all, it was a great weekend! We all had fun (and only a little sore!).
