Overnighter

The girls are back from their overnighter. Their leaders sent some pics. It looks like they had a good group, this one of all the girls hiking in I think (based on the clothes my girls all had on last night)...

Still hiking in...

And this morning. 

Packed up and ready to head back to the cars and get home for a shower.

They said it was fine. They didn't like peeing in the open woods. Lily said she didn't love how fast they hiked. It was a 4 mile hike and she said she was kinda dying. They loved laughing with their friends though. I went on a hike of my own this morning. I went further up the up the Little Cottonwood Canyon left lateral moraine than I did last time (June 6). Hiked over a mile up, 2.91 miles total, 1,356 feet elevation gain, 1 hour 23 min. I stopped to turn around shortly after I reach a spot, past a peak that was right on the ridge, where I could see both canyons! LCC on my north, and Bells Canyon on my south. This pic is looking west at the peak where I crossed to see both sides. It was fun.

Came back down via the north slope trail stairs. I have yet to hike back down the moraine. I try to avoid it cause it's so steep! Back at home, I mowed the lawn. 

Joseph Eliza and Mary were out in nature this weekend as well. They spent the weekend at a beautiful spot 90 minutes away from Columbus called Hocking Hills Stake Park, a place called Ash Cave. It looks amazing!

Mary was amazed!

Aww we miss Mary! 

We are excited for when they come out in a few weeks for the Hibbert and Wride reunions (Hibberts in Bear Lake, Wrides in Park City). After Park City, Joseph and Eliza will be blessing Mary in our ward on Aug 3. Ethan and Bella are blessing Alvin here at our home tomorrow after church. We are trying to get the house nice enough for when we have all that company here: Bella's siblings, cousins, parents, aunt and uncle etc, plus Wride extended family and my parents and Corey's dad. Beka and Matt are able to come late, but that's it for my siblings, it will be nice though. We're going to have lots of fruit and veggies and salads, I've been making ice cause I forgot to pick it up at Costco. We cleaned up the back patio so that looks much improved. It's good to have company come over now and then so you give your house a good cleaning!
