Karen's favorite thing to do on her birthday weekend is to head to a Winter Wonderland, known as Scottish Lakes High Camp. We have celebrated her birthday there for the last five or so birthdays. The cabins are rustic, the backcountry trails are endless, the company superb, the skies typically bluebird........ Except for this year....
The cabins were still rustic, the trails endless, and the company superb.......(except for the fact that we had Reed, and it was not an easy weekend to have less-than-ideal conditions).
We all got sick. Sick, as in, it would have been really great if the cabins were plumbed. The weather was kind of terrible---grey, cold, super windy..... Promptly after the Annual Saturday Night Potluck, we were all (minus Cory and Reed) either tossing our cookies, or in the snowy outhouse. It was terrible.
Cory did not get sick until he got home, which is why all of the pics are of him. The rest of us were not exactly camera-ready.

Cory was pretty much in charge of keeping Reed fed, happy, and warm. Cory woke every night, two or three times, to stoke or rebuild the fire. He was totally our Hero.

| I caught this one one early morning--Cory awake with Reed, playing in front of the fire, as the rest of us sickies were in our sleepingbags, trying to sleep it off. |
At somepoint, I don't know when, we managed to get out for a little showshoe. All bundled up. And naturally, Cory was willing to carry Boy.
Happy Belated Birthday, Karen! Here's to hoping next year is wayyy better!
