He did, she did...

We went to Taylors Falls today and while

he did this...

She did this...

When we all did this...

He explored like this...

She explored like this...

After the hike, she rejuvenated like this...

and then this...

He rejuvenated like this...

Given the opportunity to continue hiking, he climbed like this...

She climbed like this...

And then we all had to smile this like...

Cute story of the day. As often as he could, Emmett would venture off the path to climb on the rocks. I would follow him for safety (and fun). During one of our little detours Emmett said, "Climbing big rocks gives me more energy. Does it give you more energy?"

"Yes, it actually does!"

We continued to chat about hiking big rocks and getting energy. I got a kick out of the fact that Emmett's observation was so true. I also would get a little more lethargic and bored when just walking along a normal path, but given the opportunity to climb on rocks or through a more challenging terrain, I felt rejuvenated. Whatever it may be, the distraction, the challenge, the adrenaline; Emmett is right, "climbing big rocks does give me more energy!"
