They actually were having fun

Mommy hiked with a friend on Kesuge Ridge on Saturday, stayed in a cute cabin Friday night.

Lots of spruce trees killed by spruce beetles

 We hiked/ran Little Coal Creek to Ermine Hill (down via Giardia Creek)

Getting up to the Ridge

Lots of super alpine cool wildflowers

The big mountain is Denali

We had a birthday party for Rosemary

Rosemary received a mermaid skirt for her birthday. Ava took it upon herself to re-purpose Mommy's headband as a tank top.
