Forests and Streams

We took a weekend vacation to a nearby wilderness area that has old growth forests, wildlflowers, and crystal clear streams. We spent a lot of time playing in the stream, hiking, picking huckleberries, and fishing.

This photo accurately represents the scene: Navelle is a blur of activity. We're throwing rocks into the water--what else? 

Gabe is flyfishing with Navelle on his back. That worked for a little while, until she decided that she wanted to fish too.

Navelle tries her hand at fishing.  "Navelle do it!" 

Success! Here she is, holding a fish. She's still talking about this. 

Huckleberries, honey. They're tart but Navelle loved them. 

Lina picked a few containers of huckleberries to take home. Hucklberry pancakes are floating out there on the horizon.

Our hike home. Navelle hiked for about a mile and then rode in the pack.
