I am a mean mother!




Shane was gone to Alaska, so I decided to take the kids on a hike. Not a big hike, just up to Willow Flats Spring. The boys complained the whole time getting ready. Arie and Molly were excited to go. We had a great time even though some of us walked through stinging nettle!

Can you guess what I got for my birthday?
