We took a long hike today.
It was supposed to be a 7 mile hike.
3.5 miles up and then 3.5 miles down.
We saw a beaver pond.
When we got close to the end (we were about 12,000 ft) we had to guess where the path was.
That part was supposed to be ½ mile, but I think we went farther, because we wound around so much.
When we got near the top it was beautiful.
On the way down we stopped at Lower Mohawk Lake.
We were so hot and tired that we stopped and dipped our feet in the water.
It was freezing, but it felt so good.
When we were most of the way down it started to rain.
It seemed to take forever to walk to the car.
Our hike ended up taking about 6 hours.
It was well worth it though.
“It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of … fatherly love …’I know… that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully that when I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women.’” Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
I am thirteen years old living in a Christian Homeschooling family with my Mother, my father, my sister Hanna (9) and my brother Spencer (10).
We are currently going through the adoption process, hoping to adopt an infant from somewhere in the United States, praying and trusting God that he has the right child/children for our family.
