The Youngberg family: Backpacking

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny new sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a staion wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my sholder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.

Backpacking

This is the brightest Rainbow I have ever seen, this picture does not do it justice. We were really scared driving to our hike because it was raining so hard. It finally cleared up. Yay! Sean is picking his nose.

And the hike begins.

The Next day.

Sleeping in our tent.

Pumping Water

Posing in front of Dead Mans Lake,

Catching a fish. I caught four fish in the first ten minutes. It was so fun. I loved fishing. Then nothing for two days. Fish should not get our hopes up like that.
