Family Picnic

In September, Jamie's family had a picnic in the canyon. We had dinner and then played Frisbee and talked (until it was too cold to stay). Some of the pictures are rather dark, but they were too fun to be missed:

Hiking Mt. Timpanogos

A couple of weeks ago Jamie got to hike Timp with her dad, and two sisters (Alisa and Katie). Poor Chris was at home doing homework. :( It was a great hike, but an exhausting day. Alisa promised me a "long" break half-way up at Emerald Lake, but was ready to go again within 15 minutes. That sure is not my idea of a long break! But we all survived. The views were gorgeous (it reminded me of the Swiss Alps - yes I'll post on that someday)!

This was by far the weirdest toilet I have ever used, but it had a great view!

At the top! (I've looked better, but I think it's okay to look a little wind-blown after such a serious hike!)

I've always wanted to see some real mountain goats, but they got a little too close for comfort for some of us! They had awfully sharp horns, and it makes you a little nervous when they block your only path! (Kind of ironic that I didn't take any up-close pictures!)

Here are some of my favorite pictures:
