Birthday Hike

Amy celebrated her birthday by going on a long hike that she's always wanted to do. Amos was the only Bankhead child who accepted the invitation to trek for 9ish miles. (Actually, Miles wanted to come too, but Amy reminded him that when we hike together, he often lays down in the middle of the trail, refusing to move, for long stretches of time, to which he replied, "I don't do that anymore. Now I just sit on the trail instead of laying down." Progress, but still not invited.) We enjoyed perfect weather and happy conversation, and nothing makes Amy happier than moving through nature with a cheerfully engaged kid. This may become a birthday tradition.
