    "Hi Harvey. What did you do this summer?" hahaha. Oh man, this kid is going to have stories upon stories for his classmates.

      He'll probably tell them all about Virginia Beach! With my kids we would go on exciting vacations and all they would remember is the trip we took to the nearby amusement park right before school started

    Teacher: "so Harvey, tell us a little bit about yourself"
    Harvey: "well...I just became the youngest person in the world to hike to entire Appalachian Trail. No biggie" 🤣🤣

  • @brianhildebrand6272
    @brianhildebrand6272 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I can just hear it now, when the teacher goes around and asks all the kids what they did over the summer. "I walked from Georgia to Maine!" Harvey is Rockstar!!!

    It’s merely a thought mixed with some guilt, but I wonder how many of your followers feel a tad of overwhelming excitement when they initially notice you have posted another video!? If they are like me, it feels like maybe more than a tad! So pleasant are your videos. Please continue these!

    I would love to have Harvey on my school bus. The kindergartners sit right up front in the seats closest to me, and they have the most interesting things to say. Harvey would really keep me entertained. Great job Sutton Family!

    Thanks for the update..like someone else said ..at first I felt that you were crazy taking a four year old on the trail. By the third or fourth video I was wishing I was with you. You are fortunate that you could do this while you were young enough. You will have years of memories instead of years of regret for not going for it. Harvey has already learned a valuable lesson of setting a goal and seeing it thru. Harvey will do well. Thank you for sharing.

    You guys are so amazing - I loved your journey!! I have to admit I thought you were crazy when you started with a 4 yr old. I thought - NO WAY! They don’t know what their doing! But you were prepared and you were smart and safe the whole way! Thank you so much as it touched my heart to see Harvey do so well. Hugs and Gods blessings to you Sutton family!❤️

    Thanks for sharing your first week back. I can't imagine how different it was for you, probably kind of a culture shock to be back home. Loved that you chose the beach to debrief. You will forever be connected to the hiker community, those are friends for life that you will continue to connect with over they years. It was great to see Sugar Man show up as well!

  • @maryspiering1205

    Beach time with the family is so wonderful. Thanks for sharing your transition time and Harvey’s first day of school ! So nice you were able to stay connected to your trail family by giving back through some wonderful trail magic. The learnings from the trail will help you with daily life.

    Nice wrap up of what you've been doing since your hike. Noted the dinosaur dress Cassie was wearing. Only the mother of a 5 or 6 year old would wear that, LOL. I thought it was cute. Harvey's classmates probably won't have a clue about what he's accomplished. His teachers may though. I'm sure he had no clue what lay in front of him when he passed through that arch at Springer Mountain. Seven months later here he is. An accomplished thru hiker. With all the time you spend with him I'm sure he'll be reading in no time. He certainly has the desire and ability to take things a day at a time and knows that continued day to day progress is what achieves the goal. He's learned valuable life's lessons on his hike. Have fun and enjoy the "rest" (LOL !).

    I had a beard for better than 25 years, and shaved if off while my son was away at boarding school (10th grade). He came home one weekend and spent the entire time staring at a face he'd never seen. It was too funny. He didn't even recognize me when I went to pick him up.

    Harvey does go after everything the same way, it's all "awesome". I am pretty sure reading will be awesome but kind of waiting for the stories he might write (okay all in good time of course). Y'all are an incredible family and it will be fun following you regardless of what you do.

      Sorry, Fat fingers. A few years ago a man lost his wife to cancer. He waited for a year and sold his house and decided to go for a walkabout on the AT. He came up with a fantastic statement while hiking.
      '' If you can't carry it in your heart or on your back you probably don't need it. "" This statement is so true. We tend to become inslaved to so much stuff. I love my hiking equipment/clothes and the woods. But, On days like we have been having, 90°s and humid, I do enjoy our air-conditioning. LOL. Glad that Little Man/Energizer Bunny is enjoying his school. I pray for you two and what changes you might be making for jobs and your future. May God continue to guide you and bless your family. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
