Speedy Boost

Lucy's family nickname has been, "Boost" for a few years now. We have no idea where the nickname originated, but it just fits her well. And her Auntie Em agreed today while visiting Portland for the weekend. She joked that Lucy had a "speedy boost" hiding within her as we were hiking up a steep hillside.

Lucy would drop behind and ask for a hand climbing the hill...
And then she would feign exhaustion and ask for a piggy-back.

And, then, out of nowhere, she would be sprinting up the hill ahead of everyone, only to then run back down the hill and repeat the scenario. We figure she covered at least double the territory of the rest of us hikers today.

Hence, Auntie Em's upgraded nickname from Boost to Speedy Boost. Fits her well, we think!
