Dosiwallup Camping

A couple weeks ago Kyle took all 4 girls hiking and camping. I stayed home with Lilly it was nice. It was at first going to just be a hike with just Gabby, and Miley and maybe Belle. Then Lydia wanted to go but Kyle said she couldn't because she wears diapers. Soon after that she started going on the toilet. She has been doing pretty good with a few accidents a week. So of course he had to take her.
So they all ended up going.

When he decided to take all the girls up he thought someone else should go up with him so he asked one of his friends from work Michael Shipley. So they all went up together. They are also members of the church and my girls just adored his older daughter. They think she is so cool.

Kyle decided on Dosiwallups because of the waterfalls and because the trail is an old road that washed out. So he decided to take the jogger stroller. The trail was approximately 6 miles in and out of course. So my 10, 8, 5 and 3yr. old did a 12 mile hike. Lydia rode in the stroller some of the way and then they would take off their packs and she would walk. Each of the older girls carried there own clothes and sleeping bags and even some of the food. Belle carried a pack as well with some of her clothes and Lydia had a pack too. They had a great time. On the way up Belle ended up getting a blister on her foot and wore flip flops the rest of the time. So on the way down the mountain Belle and Lydia ended up riding down. There is a nice picture in the slide show.

Next year we will see where he decides to go and I will decide if it will be worth it to take a 1 year old on. It may be a few years before I get to go with them. We have been slowly buying gear for me. I have a hiking sleeping bag and that's about it. I can't wait to go camping with them!!

Kyle is trying to at least do one back packing trip a year with the girls. It was a nice trip for all of them and I was able to relax just a little.
