White Pine Lake Backpacking

I've been wanting to take Avery backpacking since she was born, and we finally did it!

White Pine Lake is only 3 miles long, but it's pretty steep.  I was shocked when it took us nearly 3 hours to hike!  Once at the top we set up camp and explored, played, made soup, and chased Avery around while she played wet-noodle baby.  (That's where she intentionally almost falls but we catch her at the last second and she laughs and laughs but Todd and I hate it.) 

I love this camp site!!

I tried to get the babe to bed at a reasonable hour but she had other plans.  Who wants to sleep when there are rocks to climb, rivers to cross, and snow fields to play on??  I can't say I blame her.

We were treated to a phenomenal sunset-- our own personal "fireworks" from mother nature on the 4th of July.  We slept pretty well as far as camping goes.

Morning with my pot of coffee. Literally.

Wet noodle baby sounds hilarious and very tiring. My kids talk about Avery a lot. We are so excited to see you guys! And ha ha to the "pot of coffee". Too funny.
