Kevins hikes up Emory Peak (almost)

We think it's pretty amazing that Kevin had the stamina to hike most of the way up Emory Peak--3.5 out of 4.5 miles--and back on a beautiful afternoon in March, 2007. The last mile on that trail is pretty rough, so he couldn't make it all the way up, but he kept leading his mom up the path and she wanted to stop before he did!

Kevin hiking with us at Big Bend National Park

Kevin loves to travel in a car and we've always taken him on our family trips. During Spring Break in 2007, we camped at Big Bend, when Kevin was 14. Here he is with his sisters, Erin and Allison, near the Rio Grande.
