Bryce is right, the bugs are horrible. Just when we think the mosquitoes are dying, the no-see-ums start chewing on us. Poor Drake-we coat him with bugspray, but they still go for him. He'll lie in bed at night scratching his neck, face, arms, etc.
Drake is doing really well. He's rallying on his bike. He's just like Bryce! He loves to go off the ramp Bryce built for him and down steep trails. He psychs himself up for them. I can hear him whispering "No biggie, no biggie." Then he takes a couple deep breaths and goes for it. I'll post a video when I can. He likes to draw and do letters and numbers. He can't write more than a few, but he tries.
I'm busy at the campground. I can't believe how much crap people leave around. I do my best though. Not really much going on with me.
We went on a hike on the 6th. It's the Mendenhall West trail. At the end of the trail you can hang out at the glacier and go in ice caves and stuff. All of our friends here have already done it, but it's 3.4 miles one way, so it's kinda hard with Drake. We finally went for it. Packed snacks and everything since it's about a 6 hour round trip hike. We rode our bikes about the first mile or so. Drake rallied the whole time. When Bryce and I wanted to stop for water, Drake was like "Let's go! It's been a long enough break." He ended up walking the entire trail by himself except the last quarter mile or so. He's unbelievable! Anyway, we got just over a mile in and stopped to take a picture when I realized I'd left the camera at camp. OOPS. We continued on and it started pouring rain. We were nearly to the glacier when we decided to turn around. I was so scared of bears and I insisted we were on the wrong trail the whole time. When we finally got back to the camper, we were all looking forward to changing into dry clothes and chillin. I was soaked to the bone and cold, so I threw my pack down and got a towel to dry Drake off. We both started coughing. I realized that when I put my pack down, the bear mace sprayed a little. So we had to hang out in the jeep and let the camper air out. I'm such a dork.
Here's some of my picks of pics for the last week and a half. (Which, by the way, has flown by.)
