3 Mile Hike.....am I crazy?

Nathan needed to go on a 3 mile hike to complete his requirements for his Arrow of Light in Cub Scouts. So today, New Years Eve was the day to do the hike. Nathan's den leader is my best friend Trudy. She took her two sons and I took both of mine. Kayla was the lucky one and got to spend 4 hours at a friends house instead. It's a good think too....it was more of a hike than I think she could've done. It was fine at the beginning, but the quicly got very rocky and steep.

It was a great day for a hike thank heavens.

So here we were....two women hiking with these four boys. They did such a great job. Of course they were far ahead of Trudy and I and wondered why it always took us so long to catch up. They'll understand in about another 30+ years. They think it's funny now, but I'll guarantee it will eventually catch up with them.

Here's the gang. Dallin, Kyle, Ryland and Nathan. Such great boys.

They climbed over these rocks like a bunch of mountain goats. They made it look so easy.

Can you spot all 3 boys?

Me & My boys. Love you guys !!

The two most oustanding moms!!

Jumpin' Jelly Beans

This is for you Granny. We all went to Jumpstreet today. The kids couldn't wait to use their gifts from you. I couldn't get pictures of the boys because they played dodge ball the whole time and you can't get in the enclosure to take any picutres. So all the pictures have major reflections off the glass enclosure. But not to worry, the boys had a blast. They invited Kyle's fried Lucas to go with them. So much fun. They all came out after an hour of jumping all sweaty. They get a really good workout playing dodge ball. Kayla has a lot of fun too in her area. She practiced her gymnastic moves. She loves Jumpstreet.












Thanks again for the wonderful Christmas present. The kids really enjoyed themselves. What a great way to wear them out.

What do you get when you......

1. Have a sister who gives your boys a harmless yet explosive gift for christmas?

OR

2. Combine 1 liter diet coke with one package mentos......you guessed it...they both lead to the same results.

LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN

How many people does it take to rig a bottle of diet coke to explode?




Never the less the boys have always wanted to do this and just haven't had the opportunity to do so. Well their loving aunt Jeri made all their dreams come true this christmas. They were so excited to get this present. They just couldn't wait to give it a try.










The first try was trial and error and so the next day I went out and bought them both another bottle of Diet Coke so they could use the second package of mentos my sister had given them. This time the results were much, much better.

Thanks again Jeri for the boys wonderful memories. They can't wait to have friends come over and try it out.
