townsend's first backpacking trip!

these pictures actually go in reverse order. so you just watched his trip backwards. :)
a week after our first family camping trip, norton decided to take townsend backpacking. just the guys. they headed up towards guanella pass and started hiking towards lake ______. norton said that townsend was a great hiker. never complained. but every so often norton would stop and they would rest on a big rock. and after awhile townsend was stopping to rest on every rock! i think they hiked a little over a mile and set up camp. the scenery was beautiful as you can see. the next morning they walked another mile plus to the lake. again, beautiful. then back to the campsite to pack up and go to the car. the last little while norton carried townsend. but i'm so proud of how well he hiked!
