What a brilliant morning to celebrate two years of trekking together! The sun greeted us with warmth and the mountains provided a stunning backdrop. There was an amazing turnout of parents and kids, some whom have been with us from the beginning and for some it was there very first time out. When we returned to the parking lot and playground we had an outside potluck of the most scrumptious treats ever made.
We took a moment to send some positive healing energy to our fellow Trekker mama Casey who is in Texas receiving treatment for lymphoma. I know our thoughts had enough power to travel across the continent to her!
Thanks to all the amazing AOFN families present today and who couldn't be here, for making this such an amazing group! The relationships formed here are ones that are so treasured and important to surviving this beautiful and challenging part of life called parenting. Seeing all the friendships and bonds between the kids themselves is truly heartwarming.
Taiga Trekkers is a free family hiking group in Anchorage, Alaska. The success of this group lead to the creation of the Anchorage Outdoor Family Network that currently serves over 340 local families.

| Pussy willows - a sure sign of spring! |
| The Campbell Creek Bridge - an icon of the Anchorage Trail system. |
| This is just half of the delicious treats at our potluck! |
