Great Canadian Housewife: My parents are taking over the outdoors

Looks like plans changed. Matt and I were planning on climbing Mt. Baker this week but with Caleb being sick, we were unable to train how we had anticipated so Baker was out of the question. Instead, we took my parents (who are not hikers) out on a little hike. We were planning on doing my favourite hike (Chain Lakes in Mt. Baker National Forest), however, there was still too much snow on the trail and we didn't come with the proper equipment... I wouldn't have taken them on that hike in those conditions even with the proper equipment. So we improvised and climbed Tabletop Mountain. It was about 3 km and we traversed over snowfields and rock. My parents did great! Some of the terrain was a little unnerving for them but I think that's simply inexperience on a hiking trail and a mild fear of heights. One of the bonuses of having people join us on our outdoor adventures is that there are lots of people taking pictures! I would say a conservative estimate of the number of pictures taken between all of us would easily be over 700 considering my Dad took over 500 just by himself. We had a great time! The downside is that we found out Caleb gets carsick on mountain roads. We had to make a timely pit-stop on the way up to clean out the car. Poor kid. Then he rocked the hike without any complaining. That's my boy! Here are some of my favourite pictures! Enjoy!
