Eli's training

I took the boys on a hike on Saturday with the full intent of starting Eli's "hike your age in miles " training. He should be able to do 2 miles. But after one sweet "mommy I ride on your back," I carried him 1.5 of the 2 miles.

And boy is he a talker! There's no getting away from it when he's about 6 inches from your ear. He talked the entire time.

"Seriously mommy, I'm going to see a rattlesnake. Seriously. Seriously mommy, I'm really going to see a rattlesnake. What color are rattlesnakes? Are rattlesnakes brown? Seriously I am going to see a rattlesnake. MOMMY!! Why aren't you answering my questions?!"
