The boy and I went camping this weekend with 3 people that I work with. It was quite an adventure, with the most physically exciting part being a hike that had a decent amount of incline and decline. I channeled Dietgirl as I heaved up hills. The best part? Well, let me explain thusly: if you ever thought of taking a 2-year-old on a hike, you might as well dispel the idea from your mind. Unless, of course, you are content with carrying him…. the entire way…. even while he sleeps and his head lolls from side to side, affecting your balance as you try to maintain uprightness on steep downhill sections.
My toes hurt, and my back and shoulders are a little achy, but I am generally really pleased with myself. I really enjoyed being active.
kick arse
i salute you and your toddler-lugging abilities!!
