On Sunday, we took a family hike at the new Wildcat Mountain Trail System. It was opened last year...but there's a controversial catch. It is only open to residents. They have volunteer patrol people and if they approach you, you have to show them your Rec Center card. No card...no trails for you.
It is a mile or so hike from the parking lot out to this beautiful lookout. We didn't intend to go all the way, but shortly into the hike we bumped into the Rhodes and they encouraged us to try to make it. We probably shouldn't have followed their advice! We did make it to the lookout, but the girls ran out of steam and it was close to dinner time...a bad combination.
The decision was made to pop the girls on our shoulders and truck it back. Megan weighs 40 lbs. Normally, the challenge of 40lbs. on my shoulders for a mile wouldn't have been a big deal. But earlier that morning I had to run 20 miles for my marathon training. Another bad combination.
Oh yeah....Tanya handled Zoe like it was nobody's business!
Where are those zip-pa-de-do-dah smiles?
