Number 49

Robert had climbed Mt. St. Helen before. So in the early 70's he made a valiant effort to take me to the top. This was years before the top blew away. I only made it half way and was ready to turn around.

Yesterday marked 49 years of sticking together even when there were mountains to climb....and look at the view from a higher elevation! We have been blessed with six children and their families to make the journey even more worthwhile. We are happy that we kept climbing this time and that we had such great company of family, close and extended, to go with us. The view is well worth it!
