Our First Birthday Together--A Good Day for Mountain Climbing

It's husband's birthday today, and he's home. This is the first birthday, since we've been married that we've had together (minus Carolyn's actual BIRTHday which of course we were delighted for, but that's a whole other eschalon of events). So far we've throroughly enjoyed it.

We decided to go take a hike in the state park a few miles from our house. We recently discovered 'summit trail' and we've found that, despite the fact that I usually think I'm dying about 1/3 of the way up, the reward at the top is worth it. Today we found even more "summit" to explore and got a fantastic view of the sound and the Islands in it.

Carolyn enjoyed herself... Until she fell asleep. She picked yellow flowers to match her outfit, and got lulled to sleep by the bouncing of the backpack.

We also got up close to two big, beautiful eagles. In fact, we were so close that we got a pretty decent visual of the act of Eagle Excrementation. I gotta tell ya, it's impressive. Luckily we weren't RIGHT under the eagle.

Anyway... It's good to be together on a birthday. Three years is a long time to wait for such an occurence. I'm glad that we get to celebrate husband. He deserves to be celebrated for all that he does for this family.

Time to go bake a cake!
