Last weekend Maya and I headed for canyon country with our friends, Lillian, Sage, and Stacey. The only boys allowed were the beasts of burden, Westley and Indigo, who were also on their first backpack.
The sun and warm felt good down to our bones and help start to thaw us from the Colorado winter. The boys more than earned their keep by carrying all the tents and sleeping bags.
We found a beautiful home for the night by a spring fed stream in a canyon bottom. There the girls made plans for their "animal rescue shop" they are going to run together when they are "animal researchers".
It sounds like Maya is ready to go again. Tonight she asked me if Evan could go with a babysitter for a week so she, Doug, and I could backpack together. Not sure who will be on that next trip... Want to join us? We're thinking about the mountains next!
