Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

adventure

We went on our first backpacking trip with the llamas. They did pretty good. Kady (the our rose grey girl) was a bit feisty on the way up... but on the way back she did much better. Besides the crazy cliffs and altitude gain to get to the lake that matt picked, forgetting the fry pan and cook pot ( we improvised with a tin can of chili we had on us), and forgetting the pump to blow up the air mattress... it was a fun trip.

Ramen Noodle soup in a can....

I could NEVER do that...I would need a two month period to recover and still carry the scars:) I can't camp. But if I had to camp my definition of rustic would be a furnished cabin:) ha ha:)
