Mike and Chad do an annual hiking trip to Mt. Rainier. This year the two of them set out on a hike they'd never done before. 36 miles in 3 days. Sounds awful to me.
They, however, insist that they enjoy it.
These are some of the photos Mike took this year- I left out the ones that are PG-13. What is it with guys in the wilderness! (uh-oh, that doesn't quiet sound right, but you know what I mean!)
I love the fact that these two guys enjoy each other so much and make this yearly trek together. It's amazing to me that my husband and brother-in-law are best friends, and that my brother-in-law is one of the greatest people on the planet. I am a lucky girl to love the guy my sister married.
I sometimes get dissatisfied with my life, grumpy about where I live, selfish about being on a budget, self-obsessed with my wants and downright greedy about just wanting more.
Then I remember my great fortune of living 5 blocks from my sweet sister and Chad, their lovely 5 kids, and all the chances our kids get to grow up together, just being kids. Not many folks get that kind of goodness in life.

I made a mistake and opened the full resolution photos. Gosh I feel homesick, even though I'm originally from NY. And now I'm about to get on a plane to Pittsburgh with this empty feeling in my heart. Alas. Thanks for the walk down memory trail! Really, sometimes I forget just how beautiful the northwest is. Imagine the Psalms David might have written if he'd had some of those views. Oh...I'm all about the PG-13 stuff in the woods!!!
