Hiking up Harney Peak






We headed up to Sylvan Lake, where we met up with the Becketts and Grandma and Grandpa Meyer. We started the big hike up to Harney Peak at around 10:15. We took a few water breaks, diaper changings, and breath-catching breaks along the way. Grandpa and mommy took turns carrying me up in the Kelty backpack (okay, so it was mostly grandpa who toted me up; I am pretty heavy!). We made it up to the top just in time for lunch. The chipmunks really enjoyed it when the girls shared their cheese and crackers with them! Daddy brought up one of his airplanes to test out on top, but the receiver didn't cooperate. It was pretty foggy up at the top--the clouds were even going through the tower--pretty crazy! We were a bit faster on the way down. I was so tired from all of that strenuous activity, though, that I slept most of the way down! Charlene, Great Grandma Meyer, Great Aunt Hazel, and Aunt Tammy met up with us at Sylvan Lake, and we colled off by dipping our feet in the water. Then, we all went to Custer to eat at daddy's favorite restaurant (The Wrangler), and we stopped in Hill City to make s'mores at the Beckett's camp site--what an awesome day!
