Symphony Lake, Father and Son camp-out!
Just before Braxton's eighth birthday and before school started, Nate took Braxton on a backpacking trip. They hiked 6 miles into a place called Symphony Lake. Nate packed almost everything. Braxton had a a change of clothes and some snacks. He carried them for as long as he could. Nate packed everything else for the overnighter. They had to cross a boulder field which hikers got lost in a couple weeks before. There are cairins along the way to show them to the Lake. Nate being the great dad he is had a wonderful chat with Braxton about life's cairins. Braxton promptly replied that our prophet is a cairin for us. They had a wonderful time and made the most of the weather. They were rained on but had sun as well.

I can't even tell you how cool this is! Nate, you are such an awesome Dad! What a wonderful experience for you and Braxton to have together. The discussion about the cairns is a perfect thing to have done up there on the mountain. I'm so impressed. You guys are like the poster family for "Life in Alaska"!
Love you!!!
Wow!! You are always doing something fun with your boys. That looks like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. You guys look like you are loving Alaska!
That is so fun! Some of my favorite childhood memories are from special campouts just with my dad. I'm sure Brax will never forget this. Nate, you are just too cool!
