We’re going hiking today!  Hooray!!!!    Here we are at the rendezvous, unloading Mom’s stuff into Uncle Pete’s truck.

Ummm…am I the only one who has noticed that it is raining a lot?  Mom did you bring a rain jacket for me?

There is still a lot of snow here!  Wow!

Looking down on a beautiful frozen lake.

Here we are headed down into the canyon. There are lots of rivers and streams to cross.

After about an hour of precipitation and sogginess it stopped raining.

Me and Uncle Pete on the trail.

We saw lots and lots of scat (animal poop) and tracks. We saw bear poop!  But no bears. They were probably scared of me. This picture is of a hoof print from an elk.  Mom would not let me take a picture of the bear poop. It is ok for her to poke the poop with her hiking stick to see how fresh it is but it is not ok for me to take a picture of it.

Lunchtime!  Uncle Pete always shares.  He has better lunches than Mom and always brings yummy snacks.

The sun came out and it turned out to be a beautiful day!

We had dinner at a yummy restaurant.  I LOVE restaurants!  Uncle Pete let me help him with his dinner. He is much nicer than Mom.
