Mt Rose

5 miles with 5 kids at 8000 feet up mt. rose to the waterfall = exhasting. But we did it. Lake Tahoe was beautiful as ever, and Ella passed the time by learning about survival. (We are going to buy her a pocket knife this week.)


Ella packed her own backpack. She brought Tina, her stuffed puppy, her blanket, sunglasses, a pear, a pop tart, paper and pencil in case she needed to draw a map. It is fun to see how her mind works.



Then there is kate. We now tell people we have "2 kids and a kate." She has been quite a handful lately. This is her new hair cut. All the layers are her own.

Beautiful layers my dear Kate!
Eva packs similar things when we go hiking. I wish my mind was that simple :)

Megan tried cutting her own hair once and Bryan offered to buzz it like his - luckily that cured her. She looks cute.

Awesome, I love Kate's hair, Savannah did that a couple of times. Evan still talks about marrying Ella, I am his teacher in church so I get all the good stuff.

I should of warned you about the name, mischievous is their middle name, and when they grow up they are wonderful!

It's beautiful the way Ella's little mind works. As for Kate- Maybe we should share ideas. Reid is in the same phase right now. It's sweet that you refer to it as a "handful".

Miss you Brit. Nevada seems like a beautiful place to take a vacation some day :)
