I hadn't set any bike plans up (I usually try to do some sort of outdoor activity on Wednesday) and I was at home ironing shirts after I had dropped the girls off at school. I had a thought come to me, "call mom and see if she wants to go do a small hike." I called mom and she had just dropped Murphy off for his bath and she was like, "yes" I have until noon, I'll be right there. We drove up Little Cottonwood and my mom had decided she really wanted to do Katherines. It said 1.5 miles and I was like, we got this! We did the hike! I knew we were not going to get home to take Elsa to the library. My mom really wanted to complete the hike. Cruz had called and was heading home because he was feeling sick. I asked him to put on a mask and go pick Elsa up and take her to the library. I am so glad that worked out. We ended up not finishing the hike till about 1 and we got back to my house at 1:30 p.m. My mom was getting very tired at the end but she was so proud of herself. She held my arm the whole way down and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. She is just not as sturdy on her feet as she used to be. But at 82 that's a pretty tough hike. I am so proud of her!!! It was so beautiful to on the drive and hike. The colors are just amazing right now!
