Hiking trip with the boys turned into a survival situation lol

Took my two sons on a trail we've done before but apparently the trail was closed for maintenance and we didn't see the signs. Ended up backtracking for like 45 minutes and my youngest started getting tired. But instead of panicking I turned it into a "adventure" and made up a story about us being explorers finding our way out of the jungle. Everyone made it back fine and they thought it was the coolest thing ever. Gonna let them think we meant to do that.
