Alpen goes Alpine

We're trying to use these weeks before Derek's next phase of treatment (more to come in DerekPost™ later this week) to get out and have a little bit of family fun. Last friday we took a hike to Talapus Lake and in the Alpine Lake Wilderness area. Alpen spent the first half hour or so swiveling his head from side to side, taking in the new scenery, but for most of the rest of the hike he slept pretty well in the carrier. We enjoyed some sandwiches from PCC at the lake and then, on our way home, stopped at a new favorite place in NorthBend called SwirlYo! They sell.... yes you guessed it - frozen yogurt, yo! 

Also included a photo of Alpen in a normal person chair for fun.
