Thanks to our dear friends the Hugheys who volunteered to babysit on Saturday Aaron and I and our always up for an adventure friends, Em and Ben, decided to climb one of our all time favorite hills, Starrigaven. Longstanding birthday tradition is to climb Verstovia, but Starrigaven was the mountain that called my name this year. After a week of solid rain somehow this Saturday the rain clouds refrained from their persistent drip. We were able to enjoy the alpine fall as we zig zagged up the hillside. I thought of little squeakers often, but I knew she was in good hands. And it was fun to reflect on an incredibly eventful year of many firsts!

| This waterfall was loaded down with fresh rainfall from the soggy week. |

| 6 1/2 years of hiking together and still loving every minute! |

| The big lake... I loved looking at the reflection on the water... |

| Ruthann we wish you were here! Maybe next time! |
