Lee and I have such a hard time getting through a weekend without a lot going on and with something fun planned. This weekend, of course we were completely busy, but only busy with busy work. We need to have some sort of adventure in the schedule to work toward.
With nothing really going on and sick of looking at the kids lying around being lazy (that's what summers are for, right?) We packed up snacks and dogs and boys and drove north into NH. Realizing that NH is full of mountains and lakes and wonderful day hikes.. we fell back to a hike that we had been on before, Mt Major.
We hadn't been here in a few years and weren't exactly sure how far a drive it was or how far the hike was to the summit.. but as it turns out it was perfect and exactly what we needed!
The boys were quite grumpy on the drive north and didn't stop until we left the parking lot with the challenge that they couldn't make it up to the summit and back to the car without grumbling. The reward being a mini-golf.
Mini golf has been outlawed in our house for a few years... we have never been able to complete a round of mini golf without fighting, crying, punching, cheating, yelling, .. well, that is the idea. So Lee and I declared that we would never again take the kids out to mini-golf.. until now.
They made it up and down the 4 mile hike smiling and happily munching on blueberries...
look for the mini golf posting soon, we'll see if we can make it through without a fight...!
