One more photo I must share.

That is just so Linnea. Middle of nowhere, just hiked over four miles, still has four to get back, there is a beautiful view... and she still finds the whatever-it-takes to strike a pose.
That kid isn't like the rest of us. Which is probably why she amuses us to no end.
Still, poses or not, she's a strong hiker, and I'm so freaking proud of her.
Other funny thing. On the tricky bit of trail, dh followed Linnea very closely. Now normally, we don't follow the kids too close because if we fall, they're at risk. The other thing we never do, and have never done, is hold hands, we've always let them walk on their own, so they could learn their own balance etc. On Saturday, dh was very close to Linnea and he said later that he felt like one of those guardian angel figurines, hovering right above her. He was ready to grab if need be.
