Miss Kolbi spent the majority of her 7th month birthday hiking on Snake Lake mountain with friends.
What a glorious day! It was gorgeous out with a nice breeze to keep the pesky bugs away. Jon and I were not expecting a 4+ hour hike up a mountain but it ended up being a lot of fun- and the girls acted like it was nothing! Really, Kalin did the entire trip and still had energy at the end!
The girls were like little mountain goats, they were scaring me a little with their "bravery." This is the first time we have been up the "front side" on Snake Lake mountain so the girls were running around and exploring everything they could. I can't ever remember heading up this way, the view was amazing and we could see so far in every direction! We saw Aleknagik and Dillingham..... and many berry pickers. Not a single bear or moose (but we did hear a gun shot) but we saw some bear scat that looked fairly fresh here and there.
Jon said he couldn't stop eating when we got home. I told him after a 4 hour 7+ mile hike he had burned a ton of calories. More than any of us because he had Kolbi on his back the entire time!
I'm glad we got out for almost the entire day. It is raining, windy and blowing outside right now. Who knows how many more days like this we will have.
