A few weeks back Scott and I decided to go for a hike. The only hike around here he has ever really been on is the one up to waterfall canyon...so we decided to try something new for him. I had been on the hike once before but it had been years. It's about a 5.5 to 6 mile hike, and it starts at the top of 22nd street in Ogden, and ends in Ogden canyon. We had planned on only going about half way and turning around since we didn't think we could make it 11 miles (we are a little out of shape these days...), but we got to a spot we thought was the peak and we were feeling good about ourselves so we kept going. Then what felt like another 3 miles had passed, ...probably really only a half mile or so, and we got to the point that was the actual peak of the trail. After some debate we decided to just go for it! We got to the end and realized our car was still 5 miles the other direction. We wussed out and called Brad to shuttle us back to the car! :) All in all it was a very fun day, and gave us a whole afternoon of time to spend together. We just may do some exercising before we set out on the next one!!
A few pictures from the hike..!
Just getting started....fresh and ready to go!
Scott is starting to rethink out decision after we went up a huge hill!
Next...we take on Ben Lomond..! (next summer) :)
*And then next weekend....Antelope Island!
Scott had never been to Antelope Island so we decided to take a drive out there. No strenuous activity planned this time so we figured we would be safe! ...a bit farther of a drive if we needed Brad to come bail us out again!!
Other than the stench and the water being so low...it was a very fun drive out there.
Here are just a few pictures from that day.
A lot of sand to cover before you hit the water..!
The boat docs....looks like a happening place!!

I was wondering the same thing about "money talks". Perhaps we should all go to private blogs from now on. Also, who is the last person that left a message? You need to update your photos 'cuz I know you have some new fun ones. Love you. MOM
