We started hiking again this year. Our homeschool group has been doing them for awhile, but I was waiting for warmer/dryer weather. Jackson, Jordan, and Mackenzie all did great. Kenzie only cried/whined when she wanted to catch up with boys but they were too far ahead and when her shoe got muddy. This was a great improvement from last year. When we did this same hike before I remember her whining/crying most of the way. And the boys didn't whine at all. Hopefully all are hikes will be like this. Coleman didn't do as well. I was hoping he'd walk most of it. But at the beginning he was going to slow. Since I didn't want to get left behind (and my bigger kids had run ahead) I picked him up so we could catch up to the others. After that he wanted to be carried the whole time. I made him walk a little, but he just cried when I did that and would walk in front of me, turn around, put his little arms up at me and tell me he doesn't like to walk. I just told myself it was better exercise for me. I was sore the next couple days... Next time I'll probably bring my baby carrier so my arms at least have a break.
