Mountain Hike


It was supposed to be beautiful yesterday, so we planned to go for a hike in the mountains. We failed to check the weather yesterday morning, so it wasn't an ideal day...a bit drizzly and very foggy/cloudy. We still had a great hike though. Brady made it the entire 3.4 miles without a single complaint. In fact, he claimed he'd only used 5% of his energy going up AND he had stored energy in different places on the way up so he could pick it up on the way down!

We stopped at mile 1.2 for a break; the top of the falls was mile 1.7. Rudy said he was ready to turn around, and we all agreed, but after our snack he continued uphill. We all followed, waiting to see how long he'd go. At 1.5, he decided he was tired. I made a deal with him that I'd carry him to the top if he'd hike all they way down. He agreed, and he really did - without complaint!
