Oluthando...: A family that hikes together, stays together...

A family that hikes together, stays together...

This year is dedicated to healthy living in our household. We invested in a treadmill in December, and proud to say, we are addicted to that little piece of equipment. Everyday without fail, we burn calories. I'm actually a little jealous because dear husband spends hours on it, damn mistress!

In addition to running we have started hiking as a family. Ok, so maybe we are forced to because my daughter is a nominee for the ''Chairman's awards" and this is part of the requirements. We could've have easily chosen other activities, but we decided to get out of our comfort zone. And so we went for our first hike. What a huge success it was. We decided to go with Walter Sisulu Botanical gardens so that we could enjoy a picnic afterwards. Our superman though, stole the entire show. He was leading the pack and every time we called for a break, he'd shout "Come one guys, you can do this". Mixed feelings of pride, joy and just total awe that this four year old could do a 10km hike. He wouldn't even let daddy carry him. Talk about a real soldier.
