We decided to take advantage of the last few days before the start of classes by spending a little bit of time in the great outdoors. We’d never been on a hike with L before, so we thought we should give it a try–after all, if he’s going to be living with us for the next 2 decades, he’s going to have to learn to enjoy the great outdoors at some point. We decided to hike up Monument Mountain in western Massachusetts. It was a short, aggressive hike with some rewarding vistas at the summit. L was all smiles till about halfway down the mountain when he fell asleep. After the hike, we drove to Beartown State Forest for supper. We used our recently acquired camping irons–thanks Mom–to make some camping-style pizzas.
On the way home, we saw this humerous sign.
just wait til L has to use his own feet for the climb! You’ll no doubt grow to ignore the standard lament “are we there yet?” 🙂
Great signage! Hope you stopped for some of those special eggs. They are limited, you hear.
We didn’t stop for eggs, but I did have the thought.
