Sisters... hot chocolate and a movie and snuggling
First weekend in August: Lab Camping trip to Beckler River. Josie and Mom check out the river early in the morning...
Maddie and Josie looking just like Mai and Satsuki from Totoro. They found "sluggie" on the path.

Breakfast... mmmmm
We went for a hike high up on a ridge. We were supposed to have a spectaculor view of the Alpine lake wilderness area, but the weather wasn't playing along: very foggy and also very cold up there.
