I love hiking, but usually have a hard time finding any takers in my family to accompany me. My nephew Raymond had been wanting to go, so I recruited him. Steve actually was on board too. (Just between us, the good thing about high school football season is that he secretly feels bad for being away from the family so much... I can get him to do pretty much any 'family time' activity I want!)
I remembered hiking to Twin Lakes back in our "pre-Alex" days, and that it wasn't too long or too difficult. I figured it'd be perfect for Alex. I guess I'd forgotten that although it's only a mile long, the entire thing is uphill. Whoever said chivalry is dead? I did! My big, strong football husband thought he was being such a gentleman by offering to carry the backpack so that I could carry Alex. He says he knows I like doing those kinds of things, so I can show how tough I am. (Secretly, he's right, but I didn't admit to it!)
Alex could have spent hours just throwing rocks in the lake. It was so beautiful and peaceful there, it was wonderful.
