Took the Kids Hiking

Grabbed the two youngest and hit a local trail on Saturday morning. About 3 miles, not too hard. My 6 year old complained about his legs hurting at mile 2 but powered through. We found a stream and they threw rocks in it for a while. Simple stuff but they were totally engaged, no complaining about being bored. Planning to do a longer hike next month when my oldest is available.

Man, the leg complaints are real at that age. My 5 year old does the same thing around mile 2. Pro tip: snacks and constant encouragement help way more than I expected. Sounds like you crushed it though.

Three miles with a 6 year old is solid work. I'd probably be stopping every five minutes with mine, so props for getting through it. Did you make it to the end or turn back early?
