Our Hike To Water Fall Canyon!

-









I love to hike and my son loves it too. My daughter, on the other hand, only likes to hike when she's in the mood. My daughter was not in the mood to hike on this day. It was a very hot day making her furhter out of the mood. She complained the first half of the hike and had me laughing so hard with her silly comments. I'll admit it was extremely hot on this day, but I knew once we were at the top, she would enjoy playing in the water. And besides I needed to hike to get a little bit of exercise!

My daughter did in fact forget she was hot, and started to enjoy herself. Maybe it was because we were hiking by a small stream and it got a little cooler, or maybe it's because she got to meet so many dogs along the way. I don't know what it was, but I was happy to see her finally happy to be hiking with us.

My son is in such great shape and had to wait for us (mostly me) to catch up. He is such a good sport about it. Maybe because he is happy when he is outside and even happier when he is exercising!

I've been on this hike before and it took us longer than I ever remember. I think it is because I'm obese, which in turn made me slower and because I haven't been exercising! I better start working on that!

After this hike we ate dinner at The Oaks, which is a restaurant up in the canyon along the river. My children enjoyed eating outside by the river because they were able to catch a couple of young guys fly fishing! We all had a blast!

I actually wanted my kids to grow up a little just to be able to hike this. Very cool. I do have a back pack that fits Butterball and then I could put Appleseed on the front. How hard do you think that would be? He he. Especially to put Butterball in and out if he wanted to walk. Maybe I will wait.

My 1st Half Marathon of 2013!

-

I ended 2012 with a GAIN (weight that is) but I started 2013 with a BANG and ran a half marathon yesterday (well 15.1 miles actually)! And my children both ran a 10K (6.2 miles). I am so proud they run with me. The race was inside the Olympic oval which was fun to see. I love my BLING (below). My next half marathon is in 19 days! It will be a FUN run and I cannot wait to run it. I ran 6 half marathons last year and I hope to run even more this year. I ran 2 miles more than a half marathon because the line to turn in the timing chip was long. Funny thing about it is my friend knew she was two laps behind me. Because I kept running so did she. She was so mad when she found out she could have stopped earlier.  After the race my daughter passed out cold. I think she is ready for a day of rest after 3 days of snowboarding and a day of running.

Fun in Florida at Walt Disney World!

My children and I spent nine days in Florida at Walt Disney World with my best friend. We had fun, but it is good to be back in the dry heat! My children and I cannot stand the humid weather! The last time I was in Walt Disney World was 15 years ago. I loved it. I decided it is far too big of a place when you have small children. Disneyland is so much better for the young ones because it is smaller.
