Saturday, September 30th was a beatiful, sunny day, so we packed up the family and drove to the Summit Creek Trail. We had a couple of goals: we wanted to get Mir and Ethan to tundra and we wanted to have a look at our favorite little valley where we camped twice during our first summer of marriage. We accomplished the first goal. We could not let the kids play long, though. The sun dipped behind the ridge as an icy wind poured down from the snowy peaks above. We had to pack up and head down. It was an exhausting day, but we had a great time.
What was most noteworthy was that we weren't the only ones taking our children to the high country that day. We saw several other children and their parents up there.
