Catching up

Part of my blogging this year will be to back log all the things that have gone on in the last year. When I went back into the last blog, it came to my attention how much I had forgotten! The 'catching up' post title, will be a weekly occurrence.

The finger incident. The following pictures might be a bit much so beware!

Here we are, everyone is happy to be heading out on the trail.

And now  the disturbing part. I was thinking to myself, "We're in no hurry. I'll let them look at the rocks."  Then...

 

Dun DUN DUN!!!

 

All my girl did was turn to the side, slip and catch herself. POP! Finger broken. I fought the urge to try to put it in place and keep going but Greg was the voice of reason. He tossed her pack to me and then picked her up and headed off. Mr. Steel and I took up the rear and I spent the hike back telling him that we would re-do his birthday backpacking trip another time.
