In the eighth month of 2006

We celebrated Rebekah's two dozenth birthday by camping at Glacier National Park and going on a really long hike the next day.



You may be overwhelmed by pictures of Glacier in this post, but just remember: we have a lot more than we're putting here!



We saw our first pika. It was very cute and very scared of us.



If you come visit us, we'll take you to Glacier and you, too, can take pictures like this.



If you want a picture like this one, be prepared for a long hike.



We got our picture taken by a nice Norwegian (maybe) guy whose bear spray we later found on the trail. Ryan caught up with him before the bears did. That's a glacier in the left part of the picture.



This marmot mommy was not happy that we were so close to her baby, so she tried to lead us away. Too bad it was in the opposite direction of our car!




We followed and finally caught up with three male bighorn sheep on the trail. They were more interested in the grass than they were in us, thankfully.




Right before the semester started, Rebekah was excited to be in Catherine Crocker and Jamie Brown's wedding in Fairfax, VA and glad that Ryan could be there, too.

Where's the pika in the picture? As for Catherine, wow! Awesome that she's married.

The Pika is hiding, exactly in the middle of the picture.
