Bears Hump!!!

We wanted to do this hike last year, but after a small simple 1 KM hike with Wade last year and him having a huge meltdown we decided to hold off on it. This summer though was gonna be the year. We went on a bunch of hikes here in Cold Lake at the provincial Park and tried to find some ones with hills as Bears Hump in Watertone is pretty much straight up hill. Our morning started off a bit rusty as we forgot our wallets when we hit mountain view and had to go back to Glenwood to get them. But after that one hick up we got there and waited for our friend Rusty to come with his three kids. We started hiking up Bears Hump around 11:00. Macie was so excited and ready to rock it. She did the whole hike with not one compliant and hiked as hard and fast as she could. I was so proud of her. Wade did pretty good until he had a fall and scraped his knee. Mark then had to carry him for about 5 mins but then he got back down and worked hard the rest of the way up. The top of the Mountain was beautiful and you could see the pride in all the kids knowing they accomplished something hard. The way down was a breeze and we rewarded the kids with being able to pick out a toy from one of the stores. I love challenging the kids to do hard things and seeing the joy in there faces when they accomplish them.
