Last weekend, Glenn and Will headed up to the mountains for an overnight backpack trip, no girls invited. (Which was pretty fine with us girls because the thought of backpacking one of us into the backcountry makes me twitchy and I have flashbacks of carrying Reina all the way from the far end of Disneyworld to the front gate.) But I digress. So the boys filled a backpack with the necessities (doritos) and headed out.

| An awesome self portrait that is my new favorite picture of the two of them. Yes Will looks like a professional basketball player but hey, he's out in nature and enjoying it. |

| Guarding the campsite, naturally. |

| Fishing! And now, that's not a wad of chewing tobacco in his mouth, just a granola bar. He's a multitasker. |
 |
| Home sweet campsite. Glenn says that a big thunderstorm rolled through in the middle of the night and it rained and thundered for a few hours. But Will slept through the whole thing. Glenn did not. |

| Armed and dangerous? Dangerously adorable! |
By all accounts, it was a successful first backpacking trip. Nobody bled, nobody complained about wanting to come home. There was a lot of hiking and wildlife watching (a moose and her calf! But from the safety of the truck for that one!) and bone collecting. We have the scapula of something currently sitting on the end table downstairs. There was a lot of the aforementioned dorito-eating along with freshly caught fish for dinner. Will slept in the truck all of the way home so that's surely a sign of a good weekend.
For the record, the girls had a nice time, too. We gardened and napped and went to the movies where we didn't eat doritos but a big box of Skittles instead. On Sunday we went to church, bbq'd at a friend's house and painted our toenails. We don't have any pictures but we do have sparkly feet.
