Hike to Snow Lake with Jenny Pastore

We set out to hike to Snow Lake with our good friend Jenny Pastore. It was 8 miles round trip and approx 1600 ft in elevation gain - and Brennan hiked it all! We were so proud of him. It was not without complaint - but overall he was a real trooper. The turning point for him was lunch - after lunch he essentially ran to the lake. And, he motivated himself on the way back to the car by being a "Hiking Transformer."

Below is a picture taken at lunch - Caelan's first experience with an orange.
Happily along for the ride in the backpack....

Brennan was willing to sit there for just a few seconds - overall it was way to scary to sit there and try and poop. He did better than I would have done at that age.

Happy to get out of the pack at the lake.

When I felt the water I thought it was going to way to cold for Caelan and really hesitated when Sean said he was going to dip her toes in. Surprise, Mama....she loved it....not to cold for her.
