Good afternoon everyone.  Hope you&#39;re having a great weekend.<br /><br />Hi there Peg&#33;<br /><br />Well, Austin and I made it to the top of Mount Bierstadt, but it was a lot of work. The last hundred feet or so was covered with large boulders, so I basically had to crawl up those rocks on all fours.  The technical term is scrambling, I think, but crawling was more accurate.<br /><br />Funny thing...we get to the top and Austin runs into a couple of his best friends.  Imagine accidentally meeting up with your friends at 14000 feet&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <br /><br />Heather had a great time on her Brownie campout.  Sharon told me they took the girls up to Saint Mary&#39;s glacier, which also has a lake.  Apparently, one of the little girls lost her hat in the lake, and you can imagine what a crisis that was&#33;  The story has a happy ending though.  A family was nearby throwing sticks in the water so their dog could go in an fetch them.  So they threw a rock near the little girl&#39;s hat, and the dog saved the day, retrieving that little girl&#39;s hat for her. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":happy:" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />
