Sunday Stroll...

This past Sunday a friend called and asked if we would like to go with their family on a hike to a waterfall. We are not real outdoors people but they have three kids, the youngest being 2 so we thought how bad could it be? Dayton was so excited to be with friends as we started up the hill. Well, that hill turned into a mountain that went from sand to rock, and went on for almost an hour each way. We were not prepared for this to say the least and we had Dayton and Camrie with us. Poor Dayton kept asking just what I was thinking... how much longer. The view and waterfall at the top were beautiful once we finally made it, but to be honest with you I will probably never do that hike again.



I thought this was where we were going but I found out that it was not even close. But there were some cool rocks and things all around on the way up. It reminded me a little of VA.

Dayton and his little legs were so good. He walked all the way up and all the way down. There were some huge rocks to clime, but Dayton's favorite part was throwing the small ones. On the way home we asked if he wanted to do that again and he almost started crying.

Poor Kyle, I carried Camrie for the first 10 min, and the last 10 minutes and Kyle carried her the rest. Camrie seemed to be handling the hike okay as she took a nap in the middle, but it was a bumpy ride. Those 14 lbs really start to get heavy when you are rock climbing.

Here we are at the top. As you can see it was not exactly a party for the kids, they were pretty warn out and going down was not much better. But we made it with only a few bumps and bruises!

Hey, I hear ya on the hike thing. We did the ward camping trip last weekend, and I'm still feeling the pain. Cedric ended up carrying Tori the whole way up and I carried Madeleine in a Bjorn, and it killed! Cute pics, though. I guess that makes up for it!
