July 3rd

Kurt and Meghan brought Kal to visit us at the beginning of July.
Actually they were here for Meghan's brother's baby's blessing but that's ok.
We couldn't get enough of cutie pie Kal and his legs.
The kids loved holding the baby and I think Addi changed a few diapers.  




Kurt always likes to hike the Y when he comes to town.
He saw that it was on our summer list and suggested we do it.
It was on last year's list and never got done so I said we should do it.

Add wasn't so sure she could do it.
After the first switchback she wanted to be done.
I kept telling her, "You can do hard things!"
 She kept hiking and walking (and carried) and made it.
Both she and Kade were so proud of themselves when we got to the big Y on the mountainside.
I was so proud of them (and Ethan, who was a reluctant participant)

We followed our hike with Magelby's Fresh french toast.
It was extra delicious after all that exercise!








Add was so impressed with herself.  
The whole weekend when we would see the Y from the freeway, she would say, "I hiked that!"  
It was an awesome experience.

That's a hard hike! I did it once about 15 years ago and still remember how hard it was for me. It was definitely satisfying to finish! It's fantastic that Addi learned this lesson at such a young age!
