First it was Evan, "Momma, can I go?". Sure, Evan can handle where I was planning and his company would be nice. "Taylor, Dylan, do you guys want to go?".... their reply..."NO!"

I mutter a thank you under my breath. Then I go break the news to Scott. "Evan, Max & I are going hiking... will be back before we go to Grandpa's." Then he asks... "Where are you going, how long are you going to be there?" So I tell him my plans and in shock, his reply was, "Can you cut it in half (distance), I'd like to go?" Yes, I asked him to repeat.
I slowly see my day drifting away. After a delay of about an hour, we finally make it. Without Max. And unknown to us, Taylor decided to wear flip flops. We made it about a tenth of a mile past the ecology ponds before I finally said enough.

I chose the latter and as we turned back to the Planetiurm, the boys explored the nooks and crannies of the trails, splashing in water puddles and even found a "diamond" of wood in which a beaver had chewed both ends of the tree.

Here, we have Dylan and Evan who love to pose for me and Taylor, our barefoot hiker, prior to changing shoes with Dylan. It really made me want to take my shoes off and feel the mud between my toesies too! But I didn't.
