Memorial Day 2013

Anna has decided that she wants to hike to all the letters on the mountains.  We have already hiked the "Y" so Anna wanted to hike the "G" next.  Memorial day was the perfect day to do it.  Everyone knows about the "Y" trail, but it took some digging to find out about the "G".  We weren't sure how the trail would be or how are kids would handle it, but we thought we would at least try.
Nicholas was ready to go.  He loved the whistle that Devin gave him.  Devin told it only to blow it if he couldn't see mommy or daddy anymore.  Needless to say he blew it all the time.

The trail was not the best, really narrow and very steep.  I am so impressed that Anna hiked the whole thing up and down.  Nicholas made it most of the way up and then Devin carried him the rest of the way.  This was not an easy hike and the kids did great!
The "G" is not as nice as the "Y".  You can tell that not a lot of people hike there or even really care about the condition of the "G".   We had lunch on the "G" which was tricky because it was so steep.

 You can see all the grass and weeds growing up through the white slats.

Anna did great, she loved it.  She hiked the whole thing and is already talking about hiking the "U" or the "B", though she really wants to find an "A" to hike.  :)

Nicholas was a trooper and crashed as soon as we put him in the car.

That night we went up to my Uncle David's house for the Henderson Memorial Day BBQ.  The kids had a blast swimming and really didn't want to get out of the pool.

After being so busy with dance concert and videos it was a perfect day to relax and play.
