We had a couple of days off of school and decided to take the kids and Roy to Arches National Park. It was fun although we got on the first trail and a few yards in, Michael said, "I wanna go home." We told him this was "a fun family vacation," so he had to have fun. A couple of minutes later he was laying down and whining. This occured all the way to the North Arch. Once we got there he realized that the park was cool and started running around and climbing the arch. It was funny to see the instant change in disposition after we saw such an amazing creation.
Of course, a short while later Michael said, "Our family vacation... I wanna go home."
The other kids thought it was fun, though Janina got her terms mixed up. Jenn told the kids that we were going to have a picnic and go hiking. This caused an argument in the back seat because Janina was comfortable with a picnic, but didn't want to go hiking. Later when we were on the trail she asked Jenn, "Is this the hiking?" Jenn responded in the affirmative and Janina ran up to Jonathan and told him, "This is the hiking." Then she ran to Michael and repeated, "This is the hiking."
A few minutes later Janina said, "I thought hiking was with ropes." So Jenn had to explain that that was rock climbing. Fun times.

"This is the hiking." Too funny
Kids are so funny at times... looks like you had a lot of fun!
It looks like you had fun! I love the stories about the kids - so cute! :)
We want to go there. Haven't taken the time yet.
BTW, is your background 'beachy' so that you can feel some sunshine in Alaska!!
