Backpacking Trip

Here's Armstrong in his backpacking gear. On his last trip he tore up his pads so we got him some ruff wear boots. He kept them until the last 1/4 of a mile when he ran off of the trail and came back with only two.
On Thursday, December 6th Aaron and Armstrong set out for their long overnight backpacking trip. They left around 1pm and arrived at their destination after dark. Aaron took his GPS and saw that they hiked in 8 miles. It was very windy and cold as they hiked. Aaron said it was very steep and a hard trail. There had been a forest fire and they had to climb over dead trees. It was very difficult to follow the trail. That night they made camp and it was so windy it was hard for them to sleep as the wind made the tent bump into them as they slept. Armstrong went immediately into his sleeping bag I made him and went right to sleep. Aaron watched a movie on his IPOD to fall asleep. Aaron said the wind was so loud that he ended up turning on music and listened to that as he slept so the wind wouldn't distract him any more.
The next morning they saw the waterfall they had hiked to. They started hiking out and it started to rain. It rained so much that Aaron had to stop and empty the water out of his boots. They were both drenched by the time they got to the car and were still very wet after the 1 1/2 hour car ride home. Precious and I were so excited to see them when they came home. All Armstrong and Aaron did for the next couple of days was rest. They were both very tired and sore. They had a great time though and Armstrong looked so cute in his backpacking gear. Aaron looked handsome too, but he didn't take a picture of himself.
