Storming the Grind

 So this just happened. Natallie stormed up the Grouse Grind ALL.BY.HERSELF.
 Last year she made it to the 34/40 marker and this year she stomped that entire mountain on those short little legs. You can read about that here. She was ready for those big steps this year and we had her biking gloves on so she could pull herself up those steps (some that were more than half her height)!

 Superstar Dad trekked the whole way packing a 25 lb toddler that was mostly happy the whole way.

 I was SO proud of her when she got to the top. She finished in 1 hour and 50 minutes!

 After we got to the top, Noah wanted me to carry him. So glad I didn't have to pack him up the Grind. He is a heavy dude....ridiculously cute but so heavy!
We bought Natallie a much deserved popsicle at the top of the Grind. Then it was off too see the bears. Natallie was pretty excited to see them.

Noah was excited to the see the bears too but more interested in the diggers and snow compactors.
Last year we didn't quite make it but this year, we can now say our 3 year old conquered the Grind!
SUN'S OUT! GUNS OUT!
