Five mile hike

Today was Drew's scheduled hike of the Gettysburg battlefield with the boy scouts. Daddy was away at a baseball game so Mommy got the honors of taking both of the boys on the hike.

This was near the beginning of the hike and both the boys had a good amount of energy.

There were a few stops along they way where the boys got to sit and listen to some battlefield history, get a snack or a sip of water.

Believe it or not, there is a Drew at the top of that tower.  Nathan and Mommy stayed at the bottom to take an extended rest.

There were plenty of big rocks to climb around on.  Everyone was amazed at how well Nathan and his little legs held up.  He only got cranky at the very end of the hike and was carried for about 5 minutes. 

 

Awesome job, boys!  Mommy is very proud of how you behaved and you were real troopers through the entire day.  You deserved that meal at Friendly's that we ate afterwards.
