Today Nathan, my mom, my dad, and I all went hiking for the first time of the summer! I had a good time and I am now very tired.
I took some pictures but now a lot. I wanted to take some when we got to the top but it was windy and cold. All I wanted to do was eat and get below the tree line again. Because of that I do not have any pictures from the top. I am sure, however, I will hike there again (hopefully soon) and get some pictures from the top. So here are the ones that I took:
These first two pictures I took before we were even at the mountain On our way there this moose was just crossing the road. It stopped and looked at us for a few seconds then continued into the woods. We saw two more after that but I did not get any pictures of them. One was just after we started hiking and the other was when we were driving home. Who ever called these creatures "majestic" clearly has never seen one walk. :p None of them looked very pretty either because they are all losing their winter coats.
We encountered this part way up the mountain... Yes that is snow.... And yes this IS May... We saw quite a bit more as we kept climbing. Although, it was nicely packed and so did not cause any problem. It was actually kind of fun sliding on when we were hiking down. :)
Here is Nathan pretending to be Atlas. Well, I say pretending but he really was lifting that huge rock up all by himself...
Oh no! I'm about to be crushed by a rock!
Still be crushed, but Nathan is making a last ditched attempt to save me!
And... I'm crushed... Left for dead... Never to be seen again...
