Tired Like A...Dog

Here is how my 9 year old boy George was looking like yesterday after hiking 7.5 of the 14 mile long Heaton Flat Trail in the San Gabriel Mountains:


The last mile and a half of the trail was the most gruesome for him; I could see him literally dragging his feet and remaining behind. Once we got back at the trail head, we stopped for lunch by the river bank. George didn't even attempted to come and eat; he just went to the river and took a cool dip until I was ready to leave.
