Here's Gretchen, Finn, and Elli at the top (not really) of Mt. Baldy. It was the top for us, but there was still a little piece to go.
Elli was a very good travelling baby. At the top, she got out and crawled around on the tundra and ate snacks.
Here I am with one of my inspirations, Brooke, who was my buddy on the ascent. Both of the twins are great little hikers. This was their 3rd time this summer I think.
Bailey, Heidi, McKenzie, and Brooke at the top. Heidi gets the Mountain Woman award for carrying McKenzie and at one point, she had one twin under each arm during a tough spot.
We were so thankful for good weather. This was Gretchen and I's first time on Baldy this summer.
We got quite a sense of accomplishment and were grateful that Heidi had invited us.
This is the best autumn with the mildest temperatures I can ever remember. The leaves haven't even dropped yet which makes every moment so valuable for spending time outside. We know our time is limited but we are entirely grateful. Thank you Lord.
Here we are on our ride with the CMA group which was down from Fairbanks for the weekend. There were ten bikes in all and we met many new friends. The Lord blessed us with wonderful weather and the sights were breathtaking. Bernie and I were saying that we are so blessed to live in a state in which you can always go sightseeing, no matter how long you've lived here.

Friends Kathleen, Fumiko, Bernie, and I went blueberry picking last weekend. We had fun traipsing through the woods picking from the high berry bushes.
We didn't get much, but you can see, we are very competitive. We all got between 2-3 cups a piece and had more fun than 2-3 cups.
