This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 14 and 8 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

Hiking NY: Backpacking on the North Country Trail / Finger Lakes Trail in Allegheny National Forest

A couple weeks late...I'm just now realizing I never posted this trip!

A couple weekends ago I tagged along with my friend Courtney for a weekend on a section of the Finger Lakes trail that crosses from Pennsylvania to New York in the Allegheny National Forest and Allegheny State Park.

This was the most mileage I have done to date wearing a full pack! It was hard, but I love to challenge myself and push my body to new achievements. We did 14.4 miles the first day, and 8.6 miles the second day with about 3000' elevation gain. Not too shabby! We intended to camp in a lean-to, but that was taken so we pitched her tent in a clearing under some trees.

It was hot, humid, and super buggy but we made it and had a great time. 










A birthday present from Nick...a freeze dried ice cream sandwich! Delicious.
