Katsu and I met 10 years ago hiking in the mountains of New Hampshire on a Columbus Day FHE activity. There was gorgeous foliage, snow on the ground (!!!) and Katsu was great at pushing my bum up the trail. Ha ha ha.
Today, he took part of the afternoon off and we and the boys went hiking. Yes, me at almost full-term pregnancy and it was great. The foliage is starting to pop out here. First, we tried a trail I had done before with the boys by myself … I should have checked the map more carefully because we thought we were following the trail, but it seriously looked like a tornado had hit it – trees EVERYWHERE. Finally, we turned back because we couldn’t navigate it. And the trail was right along the Meramac River, with a pretty steep drop off and downed trees everywhere. Turns out we were on a little spur and should have gone back to find the path. Whoops. So, we went hiking on a new-to-us trail at Powder Valley Nature Center. A short little .67 mile trail, but steep up and down. The boys loved it, especially all the deer – we probably saw like 15 and very close by, too, and the foliage was beautiful. And I didn’t have any contractions (unlike when I went hiking sans-Katsu but with the boys a couple times this summer). Maybe we should do more hiking before the baby comes. We even had ice cream for a treat when we came home (and at the boys’ insistence, popped in a quick FHE on the abrahamic covenant. Can I say how much I love the church’s new OT resource DVD. We use it ALL the time).
Yay for 10 years of knowing each other. I can’t believe how fast it passes.
