This weekend is our first official hiking trip. Aly, Aurora, Mason, Harold, Vicki and I are going to the Escalante area for the weekend and plan to hike about 11 miles. It is exciting to plan and prepare. We are taking extra precaution planning this trip because we have not done a trip like this before and we are hoping to learn from this for future adventures.
I know that the kids are excited about this trip. They aren't as much into helping prepare but hopefully they will help a little more this week to make sure that everything is taken care of and packed. I hope that this weekend goes well and that we are able to have a good time. We will hopefully take notes on what worked and what didn't and plan better for next trip. As we get a few hiking trips under our belts, we could hopefully get more proficient and have a better idea of what is really needed.
I'll keep you posted on the planning and then next week I will post on the results of our little adventure.
BTW, Aurora and I have a bet that she will not complain the whole trip. I informed her that our bet includes food as we are eating MRE's for the entire hiking portion of our trip. The bet is $5 and honestly, if it keeps her from complaining the whole trip, it'll be worth the $5. Somehow, I think I'll be the one that is $5 richer.

Just so you know, I'm pulling for Aurora in your bet. I'm on her side!
Of course you would be. Its not so much as you are on Aurora's side is that you are voting against me. Typical Brotherly Love!!!
