We decided to make the most of it and take the kids to hike Badger Mountain. It was so much fun and I'm proud to report that Kaden made it up and down all on his own.
He tried to get me to carry him numerous times, telling me his legs were going to fall off. Of course, being a compassionate mother I promised him that as soon as his legs did fall off I would carry him. He asked me how I could carry him and his legs. I assured him I would find room in my backpack.
He wasn't convinced. He reminded me we had all our snacks in the backpack, and didn't think it would all fit. After telling him that his legs were more important than the snacks he relented, for a few minutes at least. Here are a few pictures of our weekend hiking adventure!
Not as flat as it looks. Snack break at the top.

Great way to enjoy the sunshine. Yay, spring is here!
I love the dialogue between you and Kaden. Sounds like a conversation I would have with one of my kids!
Oh Kaden is a crack up! Way to go buddy(Kaden)for making it all the way up! I agree with Karen, this dialogue is priceless!
Looks like you had a fun time and I'm proud of you for making Kaden walk. Maybe next time he won't ask to be carried so many times. He is a cutie!
That is awesome. Way get some exercise outside the gym. Makes a big difference being outside. We are SO excited that it looks like Spring is here! WOO HOO! We are planning alot of camping and hiking. fun fun!
It looked like a really great day. I cannot believe that you did not have to carry cayden. 5 minutes into the hike conner would have sat down and had himself an hour rest.
We are going to have to join you next time! Looks like lots of fun!
Kristin and I hiked Badger on Saturday too. We hiked at 10:00 and the weather was beautiful! Glad your family had a great day!
How fun! I really want to do that. Your conversation with Kaden reminds so much of conversations I have had with Dylan. So funny. What a good way to spend the weekend. I love this spring weather.
I loved the conversation about the legs. So funny. My kids would have started screaming at the thought of their legs falling off. How fun you guys did this. I LOVE this pictures. You have motivated me to do fun stuff like this as a family!
Danyelle I saw your van there! We started about 10:45.
