Family Focused Friday:
A family that backpacks together………gets bitten by flies together.
I cannot believe this picture from when backpacked the Grand Tetons is from four years ago. And I can’t believe that the youngest one (Keenan, 4 years-old at the time) hiked the entire 45 miles by himself. And I can’t believe how many flies were attacking us when we were taking this picture. It was so hard to stand there, but we were on our last leg of the trip, and didn’t know if we would encounter another human to snap the picture before we ended.
Some of my favorite family memories over the years have been when we were hiking, and especially backpacking. I love that my kids enjoy it too. It brings us together – Allowing us to get away from the rest of life, get away from technology, spend time getting to know each other better, de-stressing, and creating a lifetime of memories.
I can’t wait for a trip this summer……
Get out and HIKE!!
