Will is turning out to be my go-to hiking buddy this summer.
When given a choice last Thursday of going swimming, bike riding, or hiking, guess what he picked??
That's right. A picnic and a hike.
He really loves running as fast as he can down the trail pretending he's a mountain biker.
Yes, he wipes out. Lots. But he does it anyway.
We have our best talks after about a mile into the hike. He opens up and will talk about anything. Scooby Doo. . . what he wants to be when he grows up(that day it was a fireman, a ski patrol guy, and a doctor-so he can look at people's x-rays). . . Star Wars. . . what happens after we go to heaven. . . why the sky is blue. . . why NASA is not launching any more space shuttles. . . why are there mean people. . . anything and everything. Deep stuff.
And every now and then, he lets me take his picure!
He asks, "Are we there yet??" about fifteen million times. But he doesn't seem to mind that we're not there yet.
