Wet 'n Wild Adventure

So yesterday we played hookie from work and Attempted to hike Mount Timpanogas. We knew it was supposed to rain in the morning then clear up, so we went for it. We got about a mile in when it started to rain, which turned into frozen rain. Then about 2 miles it turned to snow, then a windy blizzard. We stopped to put our long sleeve shirts back on, looked out around us and saw a complete white out. We decided we weren't quite prepared to venture into more snow and cold, or to even wait it out, so we turned around. As we hiked back down, out of the windy snow, then rain, we hit beautiful clear sunshiny weather. Utah's mountains are Beautiful! Enjoy the awesome colors and scenery we got to enjoy for a couple hours. (left) The Bear's Berries. (right) This is our new Adventure buddy, the gorillapod, it'll come everywhere we go. It is so awesome and super easy to set up and twist or bend to hold our camera and take picts of us! We drove down a little, pulled off to a nice view, turned the music on, and relaxed while eating our lunches.Isn't Spencer such a stud, he did all this!! We worked together and got 10 quarts of peaches canned after our bike ride. Because we couldn't get to the top of the mountain we went on a 5 mile bike ride on the Draper Parkway trail. Spencer wanted a day off...I showed him my kind of a day off! Busy busy we got a lot accomplished, and enjoyed our time together. You are so wonderful sugar.
