Didn't I say NEVER AGAIN about 10 years ago?-Saturday

We were still at the cabin on Saturday, and decided that we would go hike up to the Timpanogos Cave. I distincly remember swearing about 10 years ago that I would never, EVER, do this hike again. And so, here I was, hiking up to the cave with the Williams family, and us.
Just to let you know, they trick you with the easy part at the beginning, when it is too late to turn back, so you just have to continue the hike. Actually, I found out that it wasn't that bad of a hike. Sure, there were parts where I was panting like a dog, but then it got easier, and I was okay to go on. It was a beautiful day, and the crowd got there once we were hiking back to the parking lot.

Thanks Katie, Steve and Carsen for a great weekend!

What a beautiful scenery overlooking the Utah County.


Not even half way up! Still smiling...


Almost to the top, but first...a potty break.


WE MADE IT!!! 1,200 vertical feet of climbing.

Rod moved inside to nap. I opted for reading instead.

Imagine making that hike with a class full of 4th graders - yup ... did that about 10 years ago when I was teaching!!! Glad to know you made it - now you're clear for another 10 years :)
