Preparations

Thursday we packed for a backpacking trip - the children's first.  

Before children - we backpacked quite a bit - we did some trails in Canyonlands National Park - and went to the highest peak in Utah.  But after the kids were born - it didn't seem possible.  We have hiked and we have camped - but backpacking seemed a bit too hard.

But then a friend of my daughter's invited her to go and we decided to all go - with the friend's family.  It was great - I'll put more in the next blips.
