Let the Hiking begin

This last weekend we we're able to go on our first hike of the Spring. We headed up American Fork Canyon to Silver Lake Flat Reservoir. From there we hiked up to Silver Lake. It was a pretty easy hike. 5 miles round trip and about 1300 feet elevation gain. It only took us about 1 hour 45 min to get up and 1 hour to get down. About 500 yards before the lake we hit quite a bit of snow, but it made a great sledding hill on the way down. (We slid on our butts. Melina was way cute and screamed all the way down.) We had decent weather. A bit over cast but no rain (or snow). It was a fun lake and would recommend it.

Sorry on behalf of the picture, our camera is in the "shop" (Olympus repair in California) and the camera phone just doesn't take good pictures at all. Hopefully we'll get it back actually fixed this time. Cross your fingers.

I just looked at your Europe slideshow. Mel, you must have gotten your hair done right before you left, you looked cute in all the pictures! I am jealous. My hair is like a reddish/blondish mop on top of my hair. I need a color and trim desperately. Anyway, looks like fun. :)
