At the beginning of the summer, we sat down with the kids and made a list of all the things that we wanted to do before Fall came. A few of the fun activities included going to see the trains in town, visiting the local candy shop, sleeping in the tent, flying a kite, and going for a few hikes. Avery had wanted to hike Little Si all summer. So, on a Monday night near the end of summer, we headed up the mountain. Of course, by the time Jason got home from work and we actually got to the trail head, it was already getting late. We hiked for about an hour and realized that it was getting quite dark. Avery desperately wanted to keep going, but we finally chickened out. Hiking down the mountain with 3 little kids in the pitch black did not sound like fun, not to mention slightly dangerous. We sat down for a few minutes to eat our sack dinner, but the mosquitoes were so thick that didn't last long either. We made it back to our car...it was very dark. Maybe we will try it again next summer (on a Saturday)! The kids were great little hikers.
