"Mom, are we there yet?"

Three months ago I took my six year old daughter out for a hike.  While the scenery was beautiful, it was a bit of a hassle trying to keep her walking.  Twenty minutes in, she was exhausted and I had heard the words, "Mom, are we there yet?" more times than our eight hour drive to Disneyland.


Yesterday, I took her on the same hike (it was about three miles long)
and we managed to get to the top without a single complaint.  I know the exercise she's getting in PE definitely helped, but the fact that she's been eating apples instead of her daily bag of chips or fries has helped too.
