3/12: Yeti's BIRTHDAY!!!

It's Yeti's Day!!! Happy Birthday! We love you Yeti. You are the best.

This hike was horrible, but days on trails with Yeti are awesome. Lighter blue-phase Yeti with Dad, Sid and Anni. Ice cream at the Mono Market? THE BEST. Dark blue-phase mountain Yeti and gremlins. Blue-violet phase Pine Creek Pass Yeti and Dad. In the Santa Ynez River Valley with my Y.  Happy Birthday Yeti! Can't wait for our next adventure! Love, Allie
