We always try to hike Flag Hill on the fourth.
Because of Navy’s burned foot, we skipped this year.
But it gnawed at me, so today…on July 7th we hiked.
Patriot Hill was a beast.
After five straight days in the intense heat…nobody was really prepared for this hike…but I told them we at least needed to do half of the hike. Everyone was in great spirits, and Pippi is a total trooper…she was rad.
Once we made it to the Tree of Life, the kids were good to turn around. I pushed for two more hills, and they did them with gusto.
When we got back to the car, Dash found a stink big, and thought it would be nice to bring it back to Navy who couldn’t come.
I was dying that he was holding his nose while holding it!
And Pippi asked to smell the stink bug!
How funny…until she went in for her second whiff, and he got it too close on purpose…so she hit him, and with more attitude than I have ever had, she said, “That’s what you get.”
