Backpacking Adventures

Randy took all the little boys backpacking and even Henry got to tag along. They only had to hike about a mile and all the boys carried their own packs, even Henry. His tiny pack had his two precious blankies. Marcus and Ethan were too cool to do this sort of thing and went out with friends so I was home, all alone, for what felt like the first time in my adult life. It was glorious!

We’ve become good friends with the Stacey family. Andrew works with Marcus and Ethan at church and his kids are the same ages as our younger boys so getting together is fun for everyone. Plus, Andrew is a guy who makes things happen so Randy finds himself racing home from a busy day at the office so he can hit the trail, hot on Andrew’s heels. 

Camping is exhausting!
