Dog Mountain — Friday, May. 23, 2025

Earlier this year, my older boys enthusiastically expressed a desire to hike Dog Mountain with me while the wildflowers were in bloom. So we did. It was a little tougher than they expected, but they did great. On the way down, they took off racing ahead… for about 20 minutes. Then they slowed down to my pace, Henry admitting, “My knees hurt.” Same here, kid.
