A perfect day for a Hike!

My kids love hiking, and they have been begging me for a week to go. They have also been asking to play with my step sister Amber's kids Brock and Cort, so I thought I would pull a double header and accomplish two things at once. Amber said the boys would love to go, so off we went, me and four little kids, hiking in the wilderness. Well little did I know that it was going to be about a million degrees outside. So there I was, hiking up a very steep hill, holding Emma, because she decided she didn't want to walk anymore, with sweat dripping from every part of my body, I had to keep reminding myself that this was suppost to be fun. I actually love hiking, but having to carry a two year old half way up the mountain kind of makes it less enjoyable. Can I just say again, IT WAS SO HOT!!! Anyway, I really did have fun, and the boys did great, they didn't complain once. After the hike we went to the park and played, the boys didn't understand why I wouldn't let them jump off the top of the playground. The kids didn't seem to notice the heat, nor did they seem to be sweating, so I guess the outing was a great success, they had fun and that is what's important.
