Joel and I had a chance to head back into the mountains one more time before the summer ended. Joel decided he wanted to return to the place of our first backpacking trip ever (Betty Lake near Waldo Lake).
View Larger Map There were a few bugs, but not too many (enough though that Daddy got 7 bites on one hand). We walked all the way around Betty Lake, trying to only walk on the beach. But there were many places where we had to head back to the main trail. Joel is an excellent backpacking companion. He knows how to set up a tent, lay out the sleeping bags, and safely store food 30ft up in a tree.
Joel loves to "Rambo" over the trees, stumps, rock, and through the bushes. Don't fall Joel!He also enjoys taking pictures and videos. The video above is a dried up creek that fills up during Spring thaw. Joel though this was pretty cool.
Your family is so awesome! You are always doing so many fun things in life. You are terrific parents. Can't wait to see little Josiah in the pics too!
