Brady had been begging me to hike the "M" every time we go to Montana so we finally did it! I strapped Zach into the front carrier, packed some snacks and water, which Brady carried in a pack and away we went! This momma was out of shape but we did extremely well given high heat, overhead sun, and three small children! We took our time, sang songs, sat and had snacks, picked and admired wild flowers and petted friendly doggies.
about 1/4 mile before we turned the last corner and got to the top Olivia really wanted to go back. Her little legs were starting to hurt and it was pretty hot. I convinced her to go just a little further (not realizing that we really were almost there). It was so awesome to make it to the top with my kids and to see the proud excitement on their faces! It was a good learning opportunity for us to talk about not giving up and to do our very best, even when something gets difficult!
