Track and tower

Start of our hike

Not sure if there was an emergency or if it was a drill

Trillium beauty 

Read the guide book

Up to the tower for the Shaffers

We took the shortcut because my hip is bothering me

Shaffers made it to the top

The shortcut was still pretty long

 And muddy

Sherri sang "His eye is on the sparrow

a song that Terri sang on multiple funeral services

the kids recited Psalm 121
