Here are the Priers, Preparing for a "leisurely hike to a nice lake".
Here is me, and Adalyn, quite unsuspecting of the challenge to come!
"Um, where is our nice dirt path?"
This is us, resting. We had to stop and rest about 57 times. The trail, was an hour and a half of uphill rocky climbs and ledges. So much for our nice dirt path up to the lake! The weather was great and the scenery beautiful. Everyone that we passed on the way up, gave us an understanding smile and said "it is worth it, keep going". My Mom was about to give up and go down, when we came upon a very elderly, hunched over man using hiking poles to climb the mountain. My Mom said, "okay...if he can do it, than I can too!" My Aunt Lisa, was in great shape. She is an avid tennis player, and she couldn't even wait around for the rest of us! She did awesome! Adalyn was at the head of the group for a lot of the way. I was even worried about her, but I guess I forgot how much energy kids have.
My Dad was great. He stayed back with me- the prego, and my Mom and Uncle David. He too is in pretty good shape. He runs a couple times a week to stay fit. Okay, On to the goal: Hanging Lake!
