The twins first backpacking trip to Mount Jefferson went well! It was also quite an endeavor for the parents. Kristen carried both twins (one in front, one in back - 57 pounds total) and Brad carried a heavy pack with everything else (six miles one way) into beautiful snow-capped mountain terrain complete with small lakes, wadding pools with tadpoles, tiny streams, fields full of red Indian Paintbrush flowers and sunny weather.
Jefferson Park also came with a small army of aggressive mosquitoes, but we all survived! The twins slept in the tent and Brad slept outside. They heard their first thunder and lightning storm and did fine. They are good for each other.
The video below shows the twins demonstrating good self care by applying liberal amounts of sunscreen - onto each other.
