It's fairly prominent on the drive out and it was very impressive the first year. It was a clear indicator that the timing wasn't quite right as we were leaving. <br />I agree that the hike was a great thing to do at 13. I'm planning to do something similar with both kids as they grow up too.

Like that group photo w/ the sun shining through the leaves like a bright star...always fun to capture "girls only" and "boys only" photos...and of course, the family photo. Pretty amazing you captured the same tree at the same angle in both 2018 & 2019...very nice comparison photos. I had a good chuckle when the caption went from "Ian found a skunk" to the very next caption, "the girls found the plush animals" :-)...quite a contrast! Wonder if Alli's "pink" color preference rubbed off on Avery since she picked a pink doughnut! As an aside, I was intrigued at the "60 mile hike at 60th birthday" comment and couldn't help going through that link...amazing way to celebrate Dad's 60th...also, I REALLY liked how your Dad took each son to the mountain peak after he turned 13 to convey "how you'll face some tough challenges in life, but if you push through, you can conquer them" (sage advice and expressed very well via the hike). Great day connecting with the outdoors! EOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
