Last Sunday Mummy & Dada
went hiking up Smuggler Mountain at the edge of town...

...with their pals Fritz
& Eric.

Fritz is visiting from
Washington, and Eric just flew back from China last night.
They said it was a
beautiful hike, up the face of Smuggler Mountain, through endless
Aspen groves,

and then into the Hunter
Creek Wilderness, past the old Idaho Mine shaft, across a broad
valley,
then back down into town
along Hunter Creek.
It was the first real
hike Mummy had been on since we were born.
That afternoon Alex drove
us all up the Gondola to hear bluegrass music on top of the
mountain.


Then it was time for
pre-bed silliness. Jeremy decided to wear the hamper while using his
potty...


while Alex set up a
business selling his own special brand of lemonade in the bathtub...
