A Bit of a Failure + 52 Hikes

I would have liked to kick off our Wednesday Adventure Day habit today but the kiddos had dentist appointments so that will have to wait until next week. Both kids got good reports from the dentist so that is fantastic news.

It was also a winter wonderland with sparkly trees and everything.

After our exciting morning at the dentist I decided to try to get a run done while both kids were awake. I set them up in the play room with a movie, I had high hopes.

My treadmill is right next to their play area so I can keep an eye on them. I offered them each a chair but they opted to share (so cute). I wanted to get one more mile done when Emmy decided she was done and asked me to let her come hang out with me. Can’t complain too much, one day I will wish that my daughter would want to spend time with me.

After lunch and a little nap for Emmy we decided to hit up the sledding hill.

Emmy got a few runs in with Cannon before bailing for the playground.

She is getting better about keeping her hat and gloves on.

Cannon was stoked to sled and eat snow.

One of my favorite Instagram accounts @trekkingwithtotos is amazing especially if you live in Colorado.

Alicia mentioned that they are doing the 52 hike kids challenge:

I LOVE this idea and challenges have been a fun distraction this year, focusing on the fun things we can do instead of the things we can’t. We love to hike and will be looking for more local trails to explore and share. As well as more fun playgrounds because we are basically experts on playgrounds.

So now we are doing the 1000 hours outside and the 52 hikes….luckily they build on each other =)
