Lily was so distraught at how much the children whined while hiking yesterday that yesterday she announced she was going to take them on ten hikes up Y mountain, and it would only count towards the goal of ten if they did not complain. She declared to me, “I will deliver you children who are good hikers” which will be important for the backpacking trip we have coming up in August.
And so, Lily woke up early and took Mary and Lydia to hike Y mountain. Lily reported to me that they did not complain at all and they had a wonderful time.
In the evening, I went to a Jazz game in the Qualtrics gardens with Lydia. We had an amazing time, although the Jazz unfortunately lost. Ryan Smith, Qualtrics founder, now owns the Jazz, so we are very fortunate to be able to attend events like these.
