Hike and Sleepover

One week ago, Friday, 8 July, we had an adventure: we hiked from Aspen Grove to First Falls on the Timpanogos summit trail. There has been so much rain, runoff, and flooding that the trail is pretty much hashed, so it was slow going, but all made it and enjoyed the morning very much. Auntie Katy kept the troops animated with rounds of "Who stole the cookie..." and "Hey Clara, someone's calling your name...." Fun times.

The wildflowers are lovely

The dark hole in the snow near the top
of the picture is First Falls

The snow pack is still quite thick so we couldn't
actually reach the falls

Everything is spring green

On Saturday, Katy hosted her traditional sleepover for all the cousins. It was a smashing success.

That's all for now.
