The sisters, John and I took my dad out for Mother’s Day today. We have been celebrating Mother’s Day forever and couldn’t imagine not doing so. We went to Cafe 4 on Market Square for brunch. We enjoyed being out with Daddy, he enjoyed being out with us. Still, I miss my mother so very much.
We have been incredibly busy recently, some fun stuff along with dealing with the aftermath of some serious storms. I will drop several backdated posts during the next week so stay tuned.
Finally, we received confirmation on our request for backcountry reservations at Glacier National Park for late summer, seven days, six nights. I am pretty excited! As it turns out, since we applied for reservations, work obligations for John have surfaced. He may or may not be able to go. I have started preparations to potentially do this hike self-sufficient (but with our usual group). It’s time to get in hiking shape again. Let the pain begin.
Hike: Ijams Nature Center 4.77 miles
992′ elevation gain, 947′ elevation drop
Hike for the week: 13.24 miles
