Yesterday my husband had the day off work, so we went on a family hike together. The hike led to a waterfall overlook (a wooden bridge with a bench that allows you to view a pretty waterfall), but you could also take a path down to the stream and play near the water. James had fun throwing rocks into the water trying to throw the rocks farther and make bigger splashes each time. Sam had fun crawling around and exploring.
On the hike back to the car, my husband asked James where we go after we get to the car...he was curious if an expectation has been made from our previous trips. James talked about how we will drive to a restaurant and get burgers and french fries, so, yes, James has determined that is part of the hiking routine.
Honestly, we didn't mind at all because my husband and I were hungry after our hike. We stopped and ate a late lunch/early dinner before heading all the way home. Poor James...he was so tired, he wasn't even interested in his food, except a few french fries. He said he wanted to go home, and he quickly fell asleep in the car. He even stayed asleep and transferred to his bed upon our arrival home. Sam also fell asleep and transferred, so my husband and I were able to get a nap in ourselves, which never happens after a day hiking, so that was nice...although I might have woken up feeling slightly more tired than when I fell asleep.
