Look who's hiking with the big boys!
Now I just have to get him to carry the heavy stuff.
It used to be so simple. I hiked with the grown ups. I hiked with the kids. If a grown up wanted to hike with me and the kids, I guess that was ok, but it rarely happened. Now, I hike mostly with the boy. He's strong enough I keep up with him only through power of will and my ability to suffer.
So when we were talking about heading out for an early morning snowshoe, I asked some of the usual suspects if they'd mind if the boy came along. Much joking, then acceptance.
Much of our usual conversation was deferred as we focused on more age-inclusive topics. It was just a short trip so I wasn't too badly outclassed by my progeny, but had we attempted something more I'd have been left in the metaphorical dust.
Now it appears HOS is at least tangentially part of the regular hiking crew. We'll see what happens next.
