We went on a hike tonight in the woods. The entire hike took no more than 10 minutes. We were getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and Brooks had to be carried back to the car because he was too tired.
When we asked Brooks if he wanted to go on a "hike" in the woods he was super excited. Like, super duper super duper excited. He was squealing and saying, "I've never done that before!"
It seemed cool, yet odd that he was so thrilled to go "hiking" in the woods. We've taken him hiking in the woods before, so it didn't seem like it should be such a big deal.
Come to find out a few minutes later, Brooks thought "hiking" in the woods meant riding his bike (training wheels and all) in the woods. I am sure he was thinking he was going to be just like his Daddy, and he was thinking "hiking" was actually "mountain biking".
So, we had to find some woods that were a little less "woodsy" in order for Brooks to go "hiking" in the woods. It wasn't his first singletrack experience yet, as he is only three, but he did as well as a three year old should in some pretty sweet doubletrack!
