1 Down 2 To Go

I made a New Year's Resolution to summit Timpanogos 3 times this year and here is evidence of my first summit of the year. Justin and I took Hiro and hiked ALL DAY long on July 12. It was fun, exhausting, exciting, painful, thrilling, and scary!



I was certain we killed Hiro sliding down the glacier. Justin held him in his lap as he slid down the glacier, but without the use of his hands to stable himself Justin lost control and then lost Hiro. I laughed my head off watching Justin slip and slide and turn, but when he lost Hiro my laughs turned to tears and I watched in horror as Hiro start tumbling. I kept thinking "We just killed our dog!" But once Hiro came to a stop he got up and started walking the rest of the way down the glacier and I knew then that he was alright.
In the end we all survived and what an amazing experience it was.
Justin is glad he did it, but says he won't go again - so I am looking for a hiking partner for my other two trips. Do I have any volunteers?

Moose Volleyball


Justin and I went camping with his family at Jordan Pines Campgrounds up Big Cottonwood Canyon for the long Independence Day weekend. My New Years Resolution to take more pictures has obviously not yet been realized, but it's only July, I have plenty of time to get better. The only pictures I took of the entire weekend were of the moose.
Justin and I got up one morning at 6:30 to use the restrooms and came out of the latrines to find this cute (and intimidating) little family enjoying a nice breakfast just a few yards away from us.
