Hoopes Hikes

Some of the best things that we have been able to do with my parents- besides having them here to help with the house and the kids- is hiking! They are good sports, and even like the adventures of checking out a new trail- even if it is a hard one! After we have been on the trail for a while, they will tell me "this is the hardest hike we've been on" or "I would rank this as a 9 out of 10 for difficulty" or "are you kidding me?" It's been fun and it has also been a good motivator to get me out of the house - our Monday adventures and eating breakfasts at different restaurants has been fun too! I can’t believe that they are leaving us to go back to Wyoming— we sure have had fun having grandma and grandpa around!
