Pas de la Balme







Gouter.  The photos are out of order, but I can't figure out how to move them.



















Inspired! 



Crabby-pants










End of the hike--Sagey was completely re-energized upon realizing she had a 2 hour "flashmob" dance class to look forward to tonight!  Silas, had the opposite reaction and got kind of crabby pants.







Sagey had one of her hikes where she has an amazing, positive attitude the whole time.






Climbing up next to the piste de ski.


















Lunch, time to refuel.








Popcorn stop!















Long climb from the Clos de la Balme.
























There goes Silas, inspired by the view of high peaks!











First place!






Hiking up to 1839m, no biggie....







Conquistadora 




Silas gets comfy.







Whew! Time for gouter. 





I made a mocha at the top with instant coffee (with which I have a love/hate relationship)! 















MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.... 





Gouter at the top.  Silas was VERY pleased.  Hot chocolate and pumkin spice, chocolate chip walnut muffins.
