Took the kids to see Ice Age 2 today. It was ok, not as good as the first one. We just got back from the pool and now the kids are playing in their room with a friend. A girl friend. I can remember when they couldn't stand girls and now they are actually friends with one! Will wonders never cease?!

I went hiking this morning on my own. I hiked for over an hour. It was hard, and I got pretty winded as I climbed the trail. It was a mountain path, to some pools. I've always heard that the pools are amazing but it is too far for a family outing. The kids are too little to hike that trail. As it turns out, I didn't make it all the way to the pools myself. After I had hiked for a half hour (most of that climbing up hill) I thought I needed to turn around. I hadn't brought any water and I didn't want to get stranded or in some sort of medical emergency. I was having a little difficulty breathing, not to where I was worried but I felt like it was a warning that I was pushing myself to the edge. It felt good to challenge myself but I didn't want to over-do it. I plan to keep going back until I can make it to the pools. If I take water next time, maybe I'll be able to go all the way.

According to calorie-count.com, I burned 518 calories from that little outing. Sweet!
