Hiking Trip

On Labor Day, Nathaniel, Joshua, Jonas, Papa Burt, Uncle David, Cody, and Abigail went for an overnight backpacking trip up to Lake Angeles.  This was the first big hiking trip for our boys and they came back safe and walking funny from being sore!  We worried about Nathaniel because he had a bad cold that weekend and had a hard time breathing because of his cough, but he came back alive and not worse!  They got back the night before the first day of school and were tired.  Jonas only had one pair of tennis shoes which he wore hiking, so the next morning before they left for school I had to scrub them down as best I could (he stepped into the lake on the trip, so one shoe was still damp) and go buy him some nice school shoes for the next day. It feels like a whirlwind of fun and adventure since moving to Washington, things should settle down once Nathaniel begins work on Monday and the boys are all adjusted to daily routines whether it be school or home routines.
