Little Si Hike

This last Sunday I was restless and wanted to get out and do something. It was a nice but overcast day. Steve and I decided to take Will, Mickayla and Decko to Hike Little Mt. Si in North Bend. I didn't have any expectation of us getting all the way to the top, but figured it would be a good active thing for all of us. Will did pretty well and walked about half of the time and was carried about half of the time... that is until the last 3/4 of a mile or so. This happens to be the part of the hike that is just about straight up. And to make matters worse he decided that he no longer wanted to let Steve take turns carrying him, but that he only wanted Mommy. Mickayla wasn't to thrilled about the last little bit, but I figured we were that close so we might as well get to the top. I promised her it would be worth it. I about died carrying my almost 35lb kid up the last part of the mountain. But it was a great view at the top. Luckily I found 3 suckers in my packpack with the water, so that kept Will, Mickayla and Steve happy for most of the way back down. Oh, also I must say that for being the lazy dog that decko is he did great. He had so much energy and was running back and forth from person to person and was just happy to be outside. It was a great work out for all of us.
