Yesterday, Truston had the day off work so we decided to do a little hiking. After Talmage woke up from his nap we headed up Millcreek Canyon. We love Millcreek Canyon, it's so close and beautiful and not crowded. We decided to go all the way to the top of the canyon and take one of the trails up there. We got to our destination and it was beautiful- wildflowers and butterflies everywhere.
It was like heaven until we got out of the car and realized we had forgotten the baby carrier. Let me tell you, lugging 20 lbs. of wonder is not easy on the biceps, so we had to think of a quick plan. Luckily, the jogging stroller was in the back of the car, so we put our 20 lbs. of wonder into the jogging stroller and took off on one of the mountain bike trails (because they are a little wider). We hiked for about 20 minutes and then came to a fork in the road. We took the left and went down a ways, but the trail got to narrow so we turned back and took the the right fork.
The trail went up, up and away. And because of the bulky nature of a stroller and the fact that we didn't want Talmage too shaken up, Truston was pushing him with only the front wheel on the ground, manuvering around rocks and roots and such. So not only was he pushing the stroller, he also had it lifted up off the ground.
We kept hiking up this steep hill and probably about thirty minutes into it, I heard..."Man, this is hard! I'm like a human rickshaw. Like Kronk running around with Ezma on his back." The imagery was killing me. Needless to say, it was a beautiful hike and we thoroughly enjoyed the cooler weather even though it was a little more of a workout then Truston expected.
