Good times


Ok so last week we all went out Enchanted Rock. It is a state park of a giant rock that has hiking trails around and up to the top of the Rock. We decided to hike the to the top of the rock first. It was crazy steep. From the base to the top it was just over one-half mile and went up 425 ft. For all you math folks that was steep.


On those really steep areas I had the kids Bear crawl so they would not fall backwards, they thought that was cool. So we all made it to the top and we had lunch up there. This area is about 100 miles north of San Antonio and had a much better sceanry then San Antonio. From the top we could see many hills and vegitation. it was nice.

Now comes the fun part, going down. No big deal until Marcus decides that he needs to go to the bathroom. On this rock there is no bush for him to pee in nor would he do it anyways. So I (Derek) have both kids by the hands so they won't slip and tumble down the rock while trying to go as fast as I can to where there is some bushes for Marcus to pee in. We find a bush and Emily helps him and he pees. He did not like standing and peeing at all. This was his first time to pee standing up, more of a forced to do it rather then wanted to do it, anyways lots of first going on in our family. After the hike down everyone was so pooped from the hike up we left. It was a fun trip.
