Hike from Heck!!!


Our truck was parked on top of this point.













So Josh decided to take us on a SMALL hike so we headed off and immediately I knew I would regret the choice to come. He drove to what looked like a ledge that went about a mile but assured us that is me and the kids we would be able to get down no problem, and we did. Emma and McKenzie slid on their bums most of the way while Josh and I with Taylor in the backpack had to walk sideways so we didn't slide to our deaths. The whole time going down this very steep hill I knew eventually I would have to walk back up but I tried not think about such things. Anyways we got to the bottom Josh took us to a spring where there was water hole and the kids got naked and played in the water for awhile it was really beautiful and tons of fun but then we had to walk back. I decided Kenzie and I would go ahead because I kew I would need ample rest time what a mistake she is just like Josh. The whole time she practically ran up this cliff and every time I tried to rest she would say " Just make it 20 more feet mom and we will rest" I wanted to smack her for being so tuff. We all made it to the top even Emma who is only 4 walked the whole way we were super proud. Next week we are going on another hike hopefully i survive.
