Some friends from Nebraska came out to their cabin in Colorado and we met them for a hike. Each summer I try to get the kids out into the mountains more and more. It isn’t always easy or fun, but I want them to understand that in our family the mountains are important. I don’t want them to ever take for granted that they get to live so close to these beauties. Dempsey was feeling it today for sure...
Me: Wow-look at those mountains, they are pretty.
Dempsey: They aren’t pretty, they are magnificent.
Way better word Demps!
We ended up hanging by the stream for a good 1 1/2 hours. They threw rocks, ate lunch and somehow we managed to squeeze🤣 2 poops and 4 pees into that time frame. I feel like I’m winning that my kids all know how to pee and poop in the wild!
On the way home Dempsey and I had this conversation:
“‘mom I want to go to Alaska. Actually I want to go to Africa. Put that on the list. If dad wants to go, he can come. Otherwise we will just go.”
Lol. The list. We actually don’t have a list, but that’s a darn good idea!❤️
