A hike for Mother's Day weekend

Now that our family situation has changed, we have a freedom again that was once lost.  I used to look at the things people would go do and mourn it. Paige would never be able to climb a mountain, so we wouldn't be able to either, at least not all of us together as a family.

The weekend of Paige's memorial, someone posted a wild flower hike they did on their way back home.  It was beautiful.  I instantly decided we needed to do it.  The girls are young, we'd have to carry them, but it would be alright.

So this weekend, we went and did it with another family.  We made it maybe halfway if you are being extremely generous.  Nathan went to the top with the other dad, while the mom and her kids helped me down with mine.  After we left, the dads met a rattlesnake...so probably good that we stopped when we did!

It was pretty.  We will do it again in a few years when the girls are older and more capable.

This is the point we went separate directions.
