First hike of Spring near Leavenworth!

Daniel took advantage of get into parks free day and took the kids on a 5 mile hike! They made it to the top after lots of encouragement from passer-byers and (after the suggestion of a stranger) promises of icecream if they made it all the way. The cool thing about this is that all three kids are big enough to do "real" hikes with the hike lover in our family AND that one of our little people would have whined/tantrummed about 5 minutes into any walk a couple years ago and has slowly been getting better. Now this little one made it FIVE miles with barely a whine! So cool! Lots of hard won progress here. The hike was beautiful and everyone is exhausted. Here are some pictures from their adventure:
