We went on our first family backpacking trip this weekend. Here we are all smiles ready to trek 3 and 1/2 miles through the Wenatchee National Forest to Eight Mile Lake. Emma was our strong little hiking girl on the lookout for special coins the magical forest fairies left along the trail for her and Claire. Camden got to ride in style on my back and Chris was basically the family pack mule with our gear! It was an ambitious adventure, but I am proud to say that we made it!
We made it to camp! Emma and I found a cozy spot in the warm sunshine to relax.
Talk about Mother Nature at her best! 
Emma, Chris, and Camden are ready for our camp cook (Chris Warthen) to bring on the chow!
The highlight of our trip: hanging out as a family in the tent. It was too cold and windy to be outside once the sun went down, so we sang songs and told stories inside.
Good morning! Aimee, Claire, and Emma warmed up with some hot chocolate and are ready to pack up and hike back out. 
Here come the troops!
