A couple of weekends ago we all went for a hike.  It was Fiyero's first hike.  I nick-named him "Snack" on that hike because I told the kids that if a mountain lion came and attacked him I wouldn't fight it.  After all, they go for the smallest and that would save Alayna. Oops...kinda freaked the kids out.  The thought that a mountain lion was around did not please them much.  They got over it.
