near the end of may we took our first hike of the year...a couple months late. we usually work hikes in from march on, but with the business of the end of the school year and my pregnancy exhaustion we ended up putting it off.
we hiked up grizzly creek - it's one of our favorite trails - beautiful & easy enough for kennedie to do most of the hiking on her own - since she's getting a little big for the kelty now a days :) plus - she loves to hike & especially enjoys being the leader.
it was a gorgeous day and we got out early enough that we didn't run into too many other hikers. we did, however, encounter a fish caught by a fisherman & put in a little hole to keep until he was finished. unfortunately some a couple of hikers who got there before we did (& were still there which is how i know it was them - i watched it) wanted to take a picture with the fish. the man gave the fish to the woman - who then proceeded to drop it right onto a large rock - pretty sure it died on impact - but they took the picture anyway. kennedie liked looking at the fish thought - and didn't seem to notice that it wasn't moving (which actually made for a better picture probably).
a little further up the trail, was a great place for a picture...tommy wanted kennedie to stand on the log - you can see who skeptical she was - with the water rushing behind her, she wasn't all the jazzed to be out on the log.
a few more picts...kennedie leading the way & taking in the sights along the creek.
and of course - the family shot :)
