So I'm finally giving the update from our President's day activity. Speaking of which Boss heard me asking Buster if he was excited that he didn't have school because of President's day. He thought I said "presents day" so when he woke up on Monday morning the first thing he said was "Where are all the presents?" I asked him what he was talking about and he retold the conversation I had the night before with Buster. I explained that he had misunderstood me...let's just say he was VERY disappointed to not be getting any presents.

Anyhow, we decided at the last minute to drive up to Prescott and take the kids on a hike. Pops had some appointments but was able to switch all of them out for a different day except one so after starting the day off with am basketball (heaven forbid he misses a game of church ball) he came home and worked for a little while as I got the youngins ready then we headed out for the 90 minute drive north. We arrived about lunch time so we stopped at the grill first before heading off for our hike. It was a beautiful day. The weather was perfect! Pops and I made a bet at the kids would last 15 minutes before we heard things like "I'm tired or I'm hungry or my legs hurt" so we weren't really planning on hiking to the top. However they proved us wrong and did awesome the entire way up. Not one complaint out of Busters mouth and Boss said he was tired only about ten minutes from the top. It's an almost two mile hike and it's not an easy walk Here are some pics of the journey

This is how we started off...pulling Crate in the backpack that also converts to a little stroller. This is one of my best finds at a second hand store. The thing is awesome.

Then the terrain became to rocky so Pops carried him on his back the rest of the way and Crate loved it.

The boys found walking sticks to help them along the way.

This is the view from the top! Beautiful

Me and my gentleman.

I'm glad we went we all had a fun time. The boys especially enjoyed the snow on the top of the mountain!

On another note...Boss is really into working out so he's always flexing for anyone that will look.
