I wanted to go for a trail run but because the wife is really pregnant and had had a long week watching our boys I felt too guilty to take off on a run for several hours, so I settled for what I thought was the next best thing and took my 18 month old (Payson) and 3 1/2 year old (Mitchell) for a hike.
I have done this several times before and have gotten pretty good workouts in doing it because Mitchell is usually a pretty good hiker and Payson usually lets me carry him. I usually have a really good time with them while we're at it. But this wasn't the boys day. Mitchell was complaining about being tired and hungry from the get go, and Payson didn't want me carrying him, so I didn't get much of a workout in at all.
As a positive note, we went up Taylor Canyon a little ways and it was absolutely beautiful. Oh and the wife was happy because I gave her 2 hours of freedom.
