Damn.

Went almost half way up with my girls today. Oldest is 5 youngest is 2 next week. They walked all the way to where we stopped except for maybe 100 yds each where I carried them. Real troopers.

On the way down we passed a group of Army guys stopped on the side. Waiting for one of their buddies to catch up. Who had to sit down. When he heard how far the girls had gotten he commented "Damn, they are doing better then I am..."


I was nice. I didn't mention it was due to being offspring of a Marine. Not some lazy ass Army puke...

But that was because there was another Army guy walking up with a 40 lb pack and his 25 lb kid sitting on his shoulders. Screw that. Might as well hump full kit.

ETA: Wife made it to the top. Ditched me and the kids to hump it quickly. My turn next week.
