Why I can't move today.

What is it with Men and Peaks? Or is it just Daniel? This wonderful man that I married has a major fascination with peaks. I love to hike, I've been raised to hike and be outside and I still enjoy it, but not peaks.

This is why I am sore today. See that little THING on the top of that very far away mountain?
Daniel has asked me every summer day if we can hike up to the "radio tower" on top of the mountain behind our house. We tried two summers ago and made it not even half way, and I finally gave in again on Saturday and agreed to try on more time.

We slathered Chase up with sunscreen. In fact we put sunscreen on Chase 4 times on that hike and never once thought to save our own skin as well, so not only am I so sore I can't move, but I'm also burned.
We had a lot of fun at first. We found Chase a flower that he found fascinating.

And even more exciting- the horny toad we found along the path.


We saw many great views of the Salt Lake Valley.
We finally made it to the top, but only after Daniel offered to take me to the Roof if I made it. We didn't actually get to go to the Roof, but Daniels little trick worked.


We finally made it.

Oh yeah... the whole reason we hiked up this gigantic hill? These stupid billboards. I don't even know what they are but the hike wasn't worth those silly things. It's a good thing we had a lot of fun on the way up because I can't move today over these 2 graffiti filled billboards.

That is so ironic that Dan always wanted to hike that peak. When we lived there, Sheldon always wanted to try for it too. Sadly, we never did it. I can't deny that I'm not too dissapointed. BTW- thanks for the camera reccomendations, hopefully we can figure out what we are going to get.

No, sir, those billboards were the "radio tower"? That is the funniest thing I have heard today. I'm glad you made it, be sure to make Daniel stick to his promise to take you to The Roof, you know you have to stick to your guns on those kind of things. Glad you all had so much fun!

It's all in the view you take, girl.
The glass is half full or half empty.
I want that picture of you and Chase for my Mom and Baby wall.

Oops, that last comment was me, not Kimbrey. I posted under her account because I'm at her house playing with Chase for the day.
