Hiking with the Grade 6 kids

Hunter and the rest of the Grade 6 kids had a field trip to Waterton where we hiked to Bertha Falls and studied trees and habitats for their science unit. I thought I would be the good volunteer mom in a new school and go along. I mean, how hard could it be if the teachers and all the kids were doing this hike, right? I did it as a kid, I'm sure, and I'm not that out of shape. Holy Crap! I forgot to take into account that we are at a different elevation than TN and that I have been really sick lately. I thought those falls would never come. I made it just fine but by the time we were done I knew I needed to do this more often. I am sooooo tired. Hunter is too. Poor little one laid down and was out like a light. Most of the kids were saying they were exhausted as they climbed onto the bus to go home.
