Whew!

We took the boys to High Falls State Park to play around a bit today. We walked 4 miles of trail, much of it with a pretty steep grade. It felt good, but my knees were really sore by the end of it. I am not used to such steep hills. But, my fanny should be the better for it.

I was really proud of my oldest son. He struggles so much with his sense of balance. I had made myself a walking stick after the dog bite. Now, I will make one for each of the boys. I think that younger son will think it's cool. My eldest will gain confidence from having a balance aid. He was miserable during the whole thing, but very proud of himself for completing the distance. He's making progress.
