Saturday morning we woke up and Jason had this great idea to hike the Y. Of course I was a little skeptical telling him that it was too cold and too hard with Jayne and Lucy. But if you know Jason, when he gets something in his mind he doesn't change it. I call him Clark Griswald at times because when he gets determined nobody better stand in his way. So yesterday we all loaded in the car by 9:00 a.m. and off we went.
When we got to the parking lot the temperature gage in the car read 36 degrees. I was complaining the whole ride there and kept telling him that nobody hikes the Y when there is snow capped mountains and Arctic temperatures. It didn't stop us.
Jason carried Jayne in a back pack and the rest of us set off for our family hike. The sun came out and it was so beautiful. I was surprised at how many other people were out hiking too. I will have to say that we all had a great time and it turned out to be one of the funnest Saturdays we've had in a long time!
We bundled up Jayne and she loved sleeping right up next to her Dad!
Check out the snow.
Max ran all the way to the top like it was nothing!
Abbie was not far behind.
Abbie was not far behind.
Lucy and I brought up the Caboose. I was so proud of little Lucy! She just kept up and didn't complain a bit. Max stayed with her all the way back down. She had so much fun and was so excited to make it to the top all by herself. But you should see her today. She walked in to my bedroom this morning and said " Mom I think I broke my legs." She has been hobbling all day long and can barely walk. I hate to say it but I know how she feels. My legs are a little sore too! She's had Jason and I laughing all day because she hopped around church on one foot. Poor Girl. Maybe I was right, it might have been a stretch to have a 3 year old hiking that far.
But Lucy says she'd like to do it again.
She must get her determination from her Dad.
Thanks Clark for the fun Saturday outing!

That sounds like a Fab. Activity. I am awfuly proud you didn't wait in the car with Jayne and a package of twinkies. I think I would have pulled something like that. Looks like a fun day! Just seems a bit to early for me. 11:00 would have been about right. We LOVE You! Hope the legs feel better in the morning!
Abbie said that she hiked the Y but I actually didn't quite believe her I thought she must be mistaken. But leave it to the Millers to do all these fun things with FIVE kids and with a smile on their faces! You guys are the cutest!

Millers, that is my kind of a Saturday. There is something about getting out in the fresh air and seeing the whole valley. I love it. Jason will keep you all young. You should see the GORGEOUS picture of Jason you took Kim. It was perfect. Thank you! I love that cute hiking family. Could we plan a spring family hike?. . .or maybe a lady's hike? Good lucky Emmie on you big project Thursday I will be thinking about you! Love you all!
I'm proud of you guys! That's awesome! I'm glad it turned out well. And you're a trooper Kim. Have a baby and then go on a 25 mile hike...nice work. (i know it's not 25 miles, but still...)
Why am I not surprised by your lastest extravaganza! Nothing ever slows you guys down...even a brand new baby! Your quite the trooper. I don't think I would've gone along with it. I hope Lucy's foot feels better!
Shut Up! I thought for sure this was a post on how awesome Jason was to take the kids up the Y. But, You? Did you not remember you just had a baby? And Lucy? Isn't she like a week old? I am so proud of you guys. Its nice to know your out... Lets do lunch!
