Backpacking with Dad

Jed and the big girls took advantage of his last week of paternity leave by going backpacking in the Marin Headlands. On the first day they hiked 1 mile to their campsite. Dad made them carry their own backpacks. Here's what happened when Bea decided she wanted to trade.


Along the way Jed taught Esther to "track" animal prints. Here she is tracing out a horse print and pointing in the direction the horse was walking.

The next day they hiked another mile back to the car and dropped off their camping equipment before heading out on a 4 mile hike to the beach and back. That's right, the girls hiked 5 miles in one day. We are so proud of them. We think they should be able to cover the John Muir trail by next summer! Here they are at the beach.

It's like those fireball candies. It hurts so good and I keep going back for more. The little exposition by bea makes it twice as good.
