This weekend we celebrated my dad's 60th birthday! For his birthday he wanted to climb Mt. St. Helens. Wow was it harder than I thought it would be. It took us 6 hours to make it to the top, and 3.5 hours to make it down. In some places we would sink up to our knees with every step. 10 of us attempted the climb and 7 of us made it to the top. I was one of the lucky 7 that made it to the top. So I guess its pretty neat that I can say I spent my dad's 60th birthday with him at 8,400ft! What a great feeling to accomplish something like this with your family.
