A couple of weekends ago we went hiking to
Pamelia Lake with our good friends Joy, Jay, and baby Airlie. We used to hike and camp with them lots, then we had kids and now they live in Portland. So it was great to spend the day together catching up. Joy and I used to drive to work everyday together. I sure do miss you now!
The hike to Pamelia Lake is 2.5 miles each way, so we knew we would be pushing it trying to get Calla to hike the entire trail, but she did great! She pretty much hiked the entire way to the lake with a few reward stops (half a shortbread cookie) and a few short rides on dad's shoulders. She was a trooper. She loved swimming in the lake, I guess she is from our blood because Scott and I love swimming in mountain lakes! There are no pictures of Scott carrying Call on the way down because he beelined it to the car with the extra weight on his back!
Hannah enjoying the ride with dad. Hannah loves the back pack because she can see everything. She rode in the ergo on the way down so Calla could hitch a ride with dad.
Calla's imagination was running wild on the trail. We were running from bears, alligators, and she was wearing a magic stick necklace. She made us all laugh!
SUPER CALLA!!
A hug for mom!
Swimming in the lake. Hannah did NOT like the water, but loved watching Calla swim and splash!
Hannah had a great time "sharing" food with baby Airlie. Joy had brought some watermelon and Hannah having just perfected the food sign along with saying "foo, foo" was very insistent that she get some too. So Airlie was kind enough to share.
The Family!
The GIRLS!

Wow...those are great pictures! I am so proud of all you do together and especially proud of Calla. What a great adventurer she is learning to be. Great job, guys!
Love you all.

We had such a wonderful time with you guys! It was so much fun hanging out and watching Calla's imagination grow as she hiked on the trail. We look forward to so many more hikes and future camping trips with the girls!
