Hiking...

The two littlest wanted to go hiking today after I dropped the twins off at a friend's house. I went home, gathered their coats, and we were on our way. I got to the lake, and they said they didn't have shoes. Hmmm...wouldn't that be an important thing to take hiking. I told A*** that shoes are the most important thing to take hiking and she asked, "More important than taking a bath and brushing our teeth?"

I went up to another lake to take a few pictures of the mountains and colors reflecting in the lake and let them walk barefoot on the ground for a few minutes...M*** stepped in a mud puddle and cried like she had been beaten. I bet they will remember shoes next time...
