Hi mormor, just wanted to say that were really proud of you. Seeing the peak of everest must be amazing. The tanis family wishes you good luck on your quest to scale the mountain.

For: Melissa

Hi,Melissa. Hope you are staying warm. I could NEVER make this trek. I raked leaves for a few hours this morning and my arms and legs are pretty sore tonight. Definitely couldn't handle 7 plus hours on ice and snow. God bless you and God bless your fellow hikers. Stay safe out there!

Dear Mom, Ijust googled where you are...wow! What incredible beauty, you must be in awe of your surroundings-I can't even imagine. By now you are probably incredibly cold and tired but I know that you have the strength to keep going. We are thinking about you everyday and looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing stories. The boys and I had the day off today, walked on the rail trail and baked some bread. I start knitting a scarf, I even cast the stitches on myself! Stay warm and safe. -B

Glad to see those smiles under clear blue sky. Good thing for layering to go from 10 degrees to 50 degrees and back again after dark. Keep warm and keep breathing as you trek onward and upward and downward. hugs.
