The Marbles

Paul and I took Grant to Poppop and Gammy's house in Florence, and we went backpacking. I am just recently getting into backpacking since it is one of Paul's favorite things to do. With a new baby last year we obviously didn't get a chance to go together, but were very excited to go this year. We went to the Marble Mountain Wilderness in Northern California. Our destination was Campbell Lake. We were gone for three days and two nights. Backpacking is something we hope can become a family activity. Paul is already ready to take Grant...we'll probably wait a few years though. I'm sure he had more fun with Gammy and Poppop and his Aunties. Although...he probably would have loved being outside in the wilderness...but then Mommy and Daddy wouldn't have had such a relaxing time!

Here we are...ready to go

The view from our campsite

We took a day hike up to Cliff Lake

This is what I spent most of the time doing...

And Paul, of course, was hard a work

He made us a wonderful campsite

And...we're done!
