Don, Sarah and Olivia took a dayhike up the Lake Fork trail south of Red Lodge.  Trail conditions were decent, with patches of slushy snow on the trail and a good amount of puddles and mud to go around.

Little Life Kid Carriers are great for a hike! Happy Mother's Day Sarah! Don and Olivian on the Lake Fork Trail. Olivia takes a break from her hike.

Did you do something fun for Mother's Day? Submit your photos and story here!
