Holy Moly....so much to do...so little time! ha ha
**Isnt that how the saying goes? **
Well....in between bouts of packing...hauling....selling...and organizing, *rolls her eyes*
we are trying to do a few "last minute" things.
Our family LOVES the outdoors.
Camping, hiking, canoeing, swimming, you name it....we pretty much do it.
Kids and all.
So what could be better than to spend one of our last few days on the island hiking up Diamond Head?!?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We left Drama Mama with Papa and Popo (so Bug could have some mommy/daddy time)and headed off...
"Let's go mom"
"everybody in!"
Our destination point (view from parking lot)
"Lets go, lets go..lets hit the road"
Doesn't LOOK that far right?
WRONG! This comes after hiking up that....there's about...oh...176 steps!
Through the spooooky old tunnel....(Bug's FAVORITE part)
Are we there yet? nope. *gasp..pant..pant* More stairs. 184 of 'em..And these babies are STEEP~
yay the top....which leads....to yet... ANOTHER set of my favorite things in the world to do...*sarcastic, in case you didn't catch that* STEPS! lost count. (at least these ones are cool)
at the top of those....*GASP...stumble...trip...gasp* the LAST set of these bad boys! to tired to count.
FINALLY....the REWARD!
and the FUN part.....headin' back down~
TOTALLY loved it. Sure going to miss it. But I am sure looking forward to seeing what good ol North Carolina has to offer!!
Oh and one last thing....here is a video of Bug AFTER the hike....he is mad because I passed him and he HATES to be last at anything. IS this MY kid or what?
TTFN!~
P.S Yes, Bug walked the ENTIRE way up to the top and back down again. We had so many people comment on him, and how strong he was. He of course just ate it up!~
Beautiful! That is so great to get your kids involved in those activities. I've really been wanting to take a camping trip, but Marc is not sure it will be fun with a two-year old. Any thoughts?
