Our Latest Adventure

Last weekend, Isaiah and I (Dave) went camping and hiking in an area called 8 mile (nothing to do with Eminem's movie). It's just south of Soda Springs, about 40 minutes from our house. We wanted to go to a basin up in the hills, but there was still some snow on the road and we couldn't make it all the way up. So we ended up camping in a valley near a stream.
Isaiah really loves hiking and said that he wanted to hike to the top of a hill near where we camped. It took us about an hour and 15 minutes to get to the top of it and he cried the last 30 minutes of the ascent, because his legs were tired. It took us about 45 minutes to get back down.

Here's Isaiah showing off his new hiking boots.

This is on the way up, looking back towards our camp. You can see our tent and car in the distance near that road.
Just resting his tired legs.

Here we are resting in the shade at the top.


This is back at camp after the hike. That is the hill we hiked behind him.

Even when his legs hurt, he still smiled for the camera! That's my boy!
