It's about the journey, not the destination

This past weekend, we spent three days camping at North-South Lake campground in the Catskills. We had absolutely beautiful weather (80 degrees during the day with blue sky every day) and loved our time outdoors. We did a short hike each day, rented a row boat, played on the beach and had a campfire every night with s'mores. Jeff and I also got a lesson in hiking with an almost three-year-old. Ty's getting too big for our backpack carrier and the hikes we went on were no place for a stroller, so the only option left was to allow Ty to walk. It's a good thing we started out with a hike that was .2 miles long, as it took about an hour. You see, for a toddler, it's not about following the path as efficiently as possible to get to the "destination," but instead, it's about finding every possible stick, rock, etc. to play with along the way. Although that did limit our hikes, maybe it taught us a little bit about a good way to live life.
