Are we at the top yet?

Sister

#

3!

The

BIG

SISTER!

...

Bishop's Peak

I grabbed

my

companion in climbing crime,

Annie

and we were off to tackle

the

Big Sister

Now

I consider

myself

quite

strong

I mean

I work out

and run,

but......

Who knew?

Off we go

first look back

towards

Cal Poly Campus

and downtown SLO

Emerald green

grasses

and

ponds

full

from so much rain

I am

still

talking

(and breathing)

at this point

Next

look behind......

Look!

There's

Islay Hill

in the distance

and

Madonna Mountain

(aka San Luis Mountain)

Sisters one and two

just to the right

up

up up

switching

back and forth

up

up up

UP

Looking back again

toward

Laguna Lake

and the Irish Hills

,

Oh Look!

There's our house!

See......

here's

a

better shot

can you see it now?

Are we at the top yet?

breathing

labored

no conversation anymore

There's

Steph and Brynn

just in front of me and Annie

It's

Foggy

at the

summit

(nice and cool...)

Brynn and Steph are moving pretty quickly

(At this point

I am barely able to catch my breath

heart beating

almost

out of my chest)

Annie so encouraging......not

"Come ON, MOM! You bag on me to finish all my job applications

now I am bagging on you to

keep going

AND

hike to the top!"

are we at the top yet?

At the top

YUP!

AT THE TOP

we found Steph and Brynn

The top of Bishop's Peak

sweating profusely

wishing for water

but smiling

This Big Sister

is

quite

dramatic

down down down

.....

....

...

..

.

easier

that

UP

little flowers

driving home

Annie

shot

Sister Bishop

from Foothill Blvd.

See those rocks at the top?

that's where we were!

Crossed
