Their Labor Day: Riprap Trail

Some of the gang wanted to go backpacking. Clara was among them, but she wasn't really invited. So Rob and Courtney took the three oldest backpacking in Shenandoah on Labor Day. The report was: "It was awesome."
The kids did great, the ticks were minimal (deet and sock tucking seem to actually be a good solution). The weather was perfect and their were even vistas to enjoy. There was no complaining and the cup o' noodles were apparently far more delicious than anything they have ever eaten (eww).

What a fun hike. I am still laughing about the cup-a-noodles, ha ha ha.
