Pic St. Michel



Aperitif apres hike








Out of the woods. Sagey always seems to get a second wind. This is after 5 1/2 hours of hiking....


Heros! This was our 3rd attempt at Pic St. Michel, this time, we made it!




Dessert on top




Sagey ALWAYS talks about "when we Parapont" and has lots of plans for this.





So blaise about being on top of the world....just another day.....







Almost there, we had made it this far last fall, but turned around at this view point, maybe 15 minutes from the "Pic."




Finding Mt. Blanc








Near the final ascent










Abondance and cornichon sandwich



Mountain cheese for a mountain climb....



Lunch break


The skier was happy to find some snow, and took advantage by "skating" down.



Big Mommy.






It actually was as steep as it looks










Getting ready to tackle Pic St. Michel. Sagey spotted where we should hike from the house, she pointed and said "Let's go THERE!", so we did.

so jealous - what a beautiful hike! my favorite part is the chill post-hike aperitif, casually sporting bunny ears.

Well, Christine, she had JUST received them in the mail, you know how it's hard to resist wearing something new right away! The funny thing is she boldly wore them to SCHOOL the next day....I was worried she'd get made fun of, but apparently she was able to pull off the look....she said she removed them for work time, which I think was wise. Nataly, we'd love to show you in PERSON!

Hiking season just begun and you can check off Pic St. Michel. You must have had to carry a lot of food for that hike!
