Attempted Family Togetherness

Over the weekend,  Kerst and I had a fabulous idea of going on a little hike up to Donut Falls up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Noah had been begging for 4 days to go up into the mountains.  So we went up in the afternoon to go on a short hike.   It seemed like it would be successful

From the beginning it looked like we had one little person not very happy about the prospect of walking in the mountains.

Screaming, crying,  complete fit throwing.    We made it a few hundred feet before we figured there was no way we were going to enjoy this hike.

We left sad and bitterly disappointed that we did not get to go on our hike.  It was a lesson for all of us how one person can make a difference in every situation.  We talked about different situations where what your attitude is makes a difference.  And examples of when each of us made a good or bad difference to our family.  Sofia fell asleep on the way down the canyon and stayed asleep which in itself is a miracle.  She slept for over 2 hours.  I think that is what she needed most.  Noah still talks about it. And we will try again this coming weekend
