Hiking!

I love hiking. You wouldn't know if you hung out with me because I never seem to find the time to do it. But I do love it.

Today we were able to go to Red Rock and hike with the Ropers and Brooks'.

Unfortunately, my camera battery died right in the middle of our hike.

We went on another fun trail and had a fantastic night.

It is always so fun to hang out with these fabulous people.

Hiking Buckskin Gulch

This month has already been pretty busy and crazy and it isn't even half over. It isn't going to slow down anytime soon either.
Last weekend we dropped the kids off at Shai and Cade's house and headed down to Kanab. Mom, Dad, Jenna, Dustin, Dan, and I had a plan to try and hike 21 miles in 9 1/2 hours. We failed! We started out with strong legs and bodies, and 15 miles and 9 hours later we were hurting and praying for the end. When we finally made the 21 miles in 13 hours, we were more than ecstatic to see the car. What joy it brought me to see that beautiful car! My knee was hurting so bad I didn't know if I was going to be able to finish it, but you know what? I made it! Of course, I had no other choice. Here are some pictures of our daring journey.











We didn't get home until 2:30 in the morning, which really sucked. But it was such a blessing to actually get home and have a bed to sleep in.
I really did have fun before my knee decided to make my life miserable.

Thanks to Mom and Dad for inviting us and to Shai and Cade for watching the little crazies!

Stewart Falls

Saturday was such a nice day. We invited Jenna and Zoey and headed on up the canyon. We had a little picnic before we started the hike


The girls did awesome on a 4 mile hike. It was a fun time and I'm glad that we were able to go. I now know that I need to hike more often, I'm kinda out of shape. Hopefully I can get into shape before we do a 19 mile hike in a couple of weeks. Oh help me!!! :)
On the way there.
