The M

summer 2003: The M is in the distance on Mt. Sentinal. Niko is sporting his superman cap that needed to be Fex Exed out to us, because we forgot it and couldn't live without it....back in '03.
summer 2004: Paul and Niko are at the M.
summer 2009: The family sets off for the first 4 member hike. Willow has never been in the K*lty carrier but has lots of previous experience in back carriers so no problem.

Paul enjoyed the extra weight to give him more of a workout. Willow, herself, gave him an extra 25lbs. The hike was easier for me than I remember which I attribute to carrying Willow around in the E*rgo. Niko, on the other hand, found it much more steep than he remembered and it didn't quite seem fair that Willow got a ride. Of course, Niko always hated the carrier and always screemed to get out of it. He doesn't remember that.
It was a beautiful time of night when the mountains begin to have have an after burn glow to them.




The L is in the background on Mt. Jumbo.

VIDEO: Monkey Boy: It appears Niko would rather swing through the trees than hike through the forest. It has been a goal of his to do the rings. He progressed from one at a time to three at a time in a matter of days. He is rather pleased with himself.
