Wilderness playground

I love these pictures Amanda sent yesterday. These kids are growing up with the North Cascades wilderness right in their backyard, and Amanda and her friends take them on long hiking trips together on their days off.  And this summer, the high mountains must be a nice escape from the smoke down in the Valley.  

I have to say, those moms must have eyes on the backs of their heads to keep up with this crew.

Pausing for a wilderness disco pose.  I think Nova learned this from her dad!

And look at Maya!  Not even two yet, but already keeping up with the big kids. What a sweet and wise little face.
