A tale of Melind'a Birthday Trip

If you are looking for a good read today.....my mom has posted Day 1 of our backpacking trip together here

I spent most of my time on the trip giggling hysterically at Mom and her antics related to gear - which she seemed to have taken note of. She's totally right. Everytime something happened (picture her running down the steep hill we just went UP to retrieve an errant sleeping bag, or trying to get up off the ground the 3rd day after lunch), I was on my hands and knees laughing so hysterically I couldn't breathe - much less lend a helping hand!
