My sister and I have this weird tradition where we do handstands at the top of our hikes. We wandered our way up to Lake Serene last year and were rewarded with one of the most spectacular views we had ever seen. We waded out to a rock in the middle of the partially ice covered lake to relax, but ended up doing handstands and jumping into the freezing lake instead. This moment epitomizes everything I love about having my sister as my best friend.
