We went for a hike to Symphony Lake Saturday on my birthday. The sun was out and the summer ending and we were also hoping to pick some blueberries. Chrissy and Carsten came out, Barbara, Angie and Bernie, and Dad and I. Started out at Grandma's house with a nice birthday luncheon complete with turkey wraps (made by Dad), sub and roast beef sandwiches followed by a chocolate brownie turtle dessert provided by Tom. The funny thing is that Grandma had left on Thursday and we were at her house. I went there to change after Jazzercise and asked if anyone wanted to hike. I was so excited to be out and with so many who wanted to go on the spur of the moment. The weather was perfect, not too hot or cold. We wore layers and peeled off as needed. Carsten was the leader and did so well the entire hike. He surprised us all. Dad was the photographer and Chrissy the Russian interpreter. We had a blast and hiked for 4.5 hrs. Came back to Grandma's and had Piccolino's pizza and a delicious homemade chocolate brownie tart made by Chrissy. Gretchen, Phil, Finn, and baby Elli surprised us by meeting us there. Jeff, Chris, and even Grandma Kale came and ate pizza with us. It was such a wonderful day and I am so grateful.

What beautiful pictures! I am so proud of Carskey for hiking for 4.5 hours! Wow; I don't think E could have done the same.
Cool pic of the mushroom and pinecones!
