Simon has been very interested in volcanos recently. We aren't sure why. He was near to tears the other night when he realized he'd never seen a volcano. When Will and I reassured him saying that we'd never seen a volcano either he seemed to feel a bit better. His fascination was so deep that we decided to find a good video to watch. We didn't find any children's ones that were offered for streaming so we figured watching a PBS Nature show would be fine. Well it was. Sort of. Great film of lava flows and eruptions and all things cool about volcanos. And several very sad stories about people dying.
So he's been sleeping with Ellie recently.
We went on a hike today. Simon needed lots of reassurance that there are no volcanos. We promised that we would not see lava anywhere. We didn't. But we did have a nice hike up Anthony's nose. It was probably the most challenging hike Simon's ever done. It wasn't that long, maybe 2.5 miles but there was a ton of vertical and the dry leaves piled everywhere made walking tough. They hid roots and rocks and were super slippery where it was steep. Still he was a hiking trooper and up we went.
And made it to the top.
