Our Summer House is only about a mile from the trailhead to hike the Y so one evening after dinner we decided to give it a go. Y not? It was quite the adventure, let me tell U!
 |
Y are we waiting around instead of getting started?
|
 |
| It ended up being much steeper and more rigorous than we thought it would be, so we stopped at almost every turn to rest and get a drink of water. This is turn 2. |
 |
| Y, all this hiking is hard work! |
 |
| Y, it's BYU. |
 |
| Y, it's an itty bitty Provo Temple. |
 |
Y play with rocks? Because I don't want to walk anymore.
|
 |
| Y, lookee there. A pretty mountain wildflower. |
 |
| Y? Because pouring dirt all over our legs is FUN. |
 |
| We knew Ben would be carrying Eliza most of the way, and Jack some of the way, but we hoped he wouldn't end up with both of them. |
 |
Y, there it is!
|
 |
| And just as we approach the Y, Cat decides she can't walk anymore. So.... Jack and Cat are being carried up a mountain by Ben, in direct sunlight, at the end of a hike, while Eliza walks. |
 |
| Y, here we come! |
 |
| Y, it's the Y! |
 |
| Y? Because it's time to go home now. |
Y, you are so clever! Where is your BYUMBA shirt?
ReplyDeleteY'all are soooo brave!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's much harder than it looks. The views are amazing. And Cat is hilarious. What a great Dad Ben is.
ReplyDeleteLove it! That is a tough hike with kiddos. Hannah has been begging all summer to do it and the mean mom that I am keeps saying, "Um, maybe sometime." :)
ReplyDeleteLest you think I am too cruel, she has been up there once before. That's obviously why I'm hesitant to do it again!
You guys are definitely making the most of your time in Utah!
