Easy Rule #22- No matter the travel hassle, the cramped sleeping, and the noise level-- it is ALWAYS worth hanging out with family.
Easy Rule #5340- Grandmothers on a segway= awesome:
3.6 miles up a moderate gradient with rocky terrain, no small feat for small feet! Kudos to the littles!
ReplyDeleteI ran for 30 feet up the mountain and suffered from mild angina. I definitely could not have kept up with the boys :)
DeleteHahaha you are far too modest my cross country running sis. Btw, Theo remarked that since he reached the summit simultaneously with Matt, he should be awarded the same time. Ahhhhhhhh brothers.. Lol
