My goal for the weekend was to wear these boys out. I need sleep these days at approximately the noon hour and 830pm. So if I wore them out before those times, my necessity to sleep would be fulfilled! So far, I'm Winning!
Today I decided we were hiking. We found this fun little place outside Lyons called Halls Ranch. I wore Ryk in the backpack and really pumped AJ up to the fact that I needed him to hike beside me, because Dad was not here to carry him. The kid did good!!! He said "hi" to all the hikers that traveled by, pointed out his "favorite mountain of the day", and enjoyed picking up dirt,rocks and peaking at the cactus. We hiked for an hour and I probably carried him ten minutes total.
It was great and just gets me more and more excited about hiking with my family here in Colorado.
Before our hike I had to explain to AJ why we were not going to stay home and watch cartoons all day, "AJ, we live in Colorado. There is so much beautiful stuff to see and play in outside. And we must not waste our day inside all day." It clicked. He said,"grab my tie-ing (hiking) boots"!
Love
Momma
