maybe i should start these posts out with "what went wrong this time"

Sometimes we do crazy things... like backpack 4 miles up a mountain to a random lake... sometimes it's great.. other times it's difficult and i think " we have small children, two are special needs, what are we thinking?" But in the end... it always works out to be a great time because of our attitude.. that really is the key.. especially when things go wrong.. like when the ONLY pair of shoes one brings breaks... and one has to improvise for a 4 mile hike out of the camp site...

I know you are thinking "why did you wear flip flops hiking".... my hiking shoes where causing me problems from last trip and i meant to go get new ones but i didn't have time and then when we were leaving to go these where the only things that would work.. I've hiked in them before and they are super comfy but think they just saw to many hiking trips and walking trips so now they are dead! So that is why i wore flip flops!

and this is how i walked back the 4 miles to the car... it worked okay for a little bit!
