Hiking to Franklin Falls
We went on a "family friendly" hike, which, according to the book and internet, was easy for little kids with a mild incline up towards the waterfalls. So we went for it, and had a great time, though it was much longer and steeper than we expected. Lily did great and hiked for over two miles by herself, but by the end needed a little piggy back ride from mommy, who wished she had brought a crane to hoist up her belly and all those stretched out ligaments! And I'm not even that big yet (compared to how I can get by the end)...
Little Buddies
Lily and Jonathan are really good pals now. They do everything together-Lily kindly shares her bike, and, with less enthusiasm, her sacred cooking stool. She's learning, though, that while Jonathan wants to help cook, he's really more interested in showing us how he can climb back down, and back up, and back down, and so on. Still, it is a sacrifice for her to share the stool, and we are pleased with the results. Tonight we put Lily to bed and Jonathan got in with her. They laid there together, fake sleeping and laughing, and when it was finally time to end the fun, they cried as we carried Jonathan away, clinging to each other hands. It was pretty cute, but even so Lily couldn't convince us to let him sleep in her room. Not yet. Not until December.
