Y

for months the boys have been asking if we could hike to the Y on the mountain, so saturday we decided to try it...

the first half was great! the boys walked (slowly), but at least they walked and slow enough that i actually wondered why everyone who passed us was so out of breath. and of course, both boys insisted on wearing their pirate costumes. whatever.

jack even hiked all the way up the actual Y. he loved it! on the way up we took turns guessing what the Y was made of. jack and christian guessed snow, marshmellows, gum and ice cream. I was glad they weren't too disappointed when we made it to the top and they found out that it was conrete and paint.



now...on the way down was a whole different story...

we had just started down. christian was complaining so i was carrying him and i also had jane in the backpack. i had just told david that i was fine and felt perfectly balanced with one in front and one in back. well, probably 2 seconds later, my ankle rolled and i totally ate it! downhill! nothing to stop all 3 of us from crashing into the ground. hard. christian was screaming. jane was screaming. i was shocked and was looking around to make sure we were still alive and the first face i see is davids... and he's laughing!!! can you believe it? we almost died and he's laughing at us. well, the kids never quite recovered after that. i ended up holding sweet jane while david carried the other two all the way down the mountian!



fun.
