Whoops! I forgot to post this update. Ben took all the girls on one last backpacking trip to Elk Cove. They secured a sought-after spot for their tents, which was right next to a stream. Each girl had a different job while setting up camp. McKinley pitched both tents, Piper organized the food and cooking station, and Tessa retrieved water and assembled a water bottle filling station. They hiked a total of ten miles round trip and ran into several interesting people including a woman who founded a local company based in Beaverton called Tribal Sasquatch and a professional photographer. Adventures, such as backpacking, make wonderful memories, and I'm so grateful that Benji prioritizes these times with our girls!
