Our Hatcher Pass Adventure!!
We spent the day at Hatcher Pass. We drove up and parked got out and all of the other people there were walking up a paved trail to see the mine buildings. But we were not going there. Brian asked Dalia, "Do you want to climb up this ridge (pointing to the right) or that ridge (pointing to the left)??" Dalia said "This ridge" (and pointed to the left). So that is were we went. We began hiking left following no trail at all. We just hiked through the brush following each other. Brian is the best and carried the girls over the stream!
Our girls are such good hikers!! It was fun when we found snow!!
We made snow angles! and threw snowballs at each other. Rock even hiked for a bit on his own.
When we got up higher we found more snow fields! The kids had fun using their dad as a sled!
It was so beautiful up there! It reminded me of the sound of music!
Rockwell tripped and fell into a very cold puddle of water. He was not happy. Thankfully we had some extra clothes and coats we were able to change him into for the hike back down.
We ended up crossing the stream at a different place where there weren't rocks to hop on. Brian carried all 4 of us across so only he got his feet wet. He really is the best!
After our hike we went out to Dairy Queen for Ice Cream and then over to G&G Ha.'s office!! When we were last here in the fall of 2006 Brian was helping to cut down trees on the land where the office would some day go. So this was our first time to see the office. It is a great big space and nice to have it out of G&G's home. Rock had fun playing on the lawnmower & throwing rocks. Dalia enjoyed playing with Lucy.

I am so impressed by your family of hikers. It looks like a really challenging hike and beautiful scenery. And Brian shuttling everyone across the freezing cold water…WOW!
