On Sunday we went hiking with Rick, Nicki, Luke & Landon O'Donnell. 4 kids and 4 adults made for quite the endurance hike. Dan & I climbed Mount Hedgehog last year with Sebastien and it went really well. I can't say that the kids did extremely well, but we all made it and were glad we did it. Somehow, despite the threat of constant rain, we all stayed dry too.
Below is a picture of the very beginning of the hike. Sebastien and Luke loved running down the path. Unfortunately this only lasted for about 10 minutes until the path got too narrow and steep. They then went up in the backpack carriers. Kim had Sebastien in her carrier and Dan had Genevieve in the Baby Bjorn (front carrier) because that thing is really hard on your neck and shoulders even though there's less weight in it. Nicki and Rick each had a kid too. We only saw one other person on our hike and I think he thought we were crazy.

It took us about 5 hours I think to hike the mountain. Genevieve cried more than we would have liked on the way down and Sebastien kept asking "Where's Luke?" and "Where's Luke's car?" every 3 minutes, so that was a bit trying. We were certainly tired and sore when we got back to the car, but nothing that a nice group pizza dinner couldn't cure.
