For almost a week, my sister would call and say "we are hiking the Y do you want to come?" I would politly say no, my boys won't make it. I can see major disaster and meltdowns 1/2 way up. My cousin convinced me go do it, they have it paved now. ME: well, if it's paved that will make it easy and it could be do-able. So I called Mandy and said sure we will give it a try. We get there, and guess what? The parking lott is paved, and that's about it. But we were there and there were older kids to help out with Ethan and a sturdy jogging stroller for Blayne. Heck if Mandy and Syd are doing this with Heath and Creed on their backs, I could certainly do this with a stroller. The out come: FAIL! MAJOR FAIL!
That is one steep trail, with 10 different turns, we (me and the boys) made it to turn two. Keep in mind that they are the two longest turns of the trail.
I decided to wait at turn two while the other's hiked to the end. we waited about 45 min before pooey diapers and meltdowns began to set in. My next challange was how to figure out how to get a tired two year old and a cranky 1 year old down the side of the mountian on my own. We got back down to turn one and started down to the base, and Ethan was DONE. big time. He plopped himself down and would not get up. Fortunatly a young man named Austin, stopped on his way back down and asked if he could help (forgot to get his pic). Thank goodness for answered prayers. By the time we got back down Blayne was a sleep. So while we cooled down we watched a movie and had a drink and waited another 20 min for the others to come down, Congrats on the ones whi made it.
