Hiking/Backpacking and Art Inspired by Nature

This week was really fun. We had a really hard time getting kids to sign up for it, but Lindsay and I had a BLAST! We went to the Uintas and hiked Bald Mtn, hiked to Timpanogos Cave, had a relaxing day hiking to different lakes, went rock climbing in Big Cottonwood Canyon and brought our new school director Jamie along!, went rock climbing at The Fit Stop in Heber, and attempted (key word: attempted) to hike Twin Peaks... haha. Long story.
After the attempted hike of Twin Peaks.
Comtemplating the hike we just attempted... I may or may not have thought we were all going to die. haha

Our relaxing day hiking around to different lakes in the Uintas!

Hahaha!!! This picture is a "must-zoom". HAHA!! I thought I was going to DIE laughing after we took it. Take it all in though... the sign, the red line, the face... hahahaha Ooh, the Timpanogos Cave day was a reeeeal good one for Lindsay and I.

Inside the cave.. SO cool, right!?

Lindsay and I making facial representations of the "spikey" cave! hahaha We're so modern.

Rock Climbing at Big Cottonwood with all of us and Jamie!

Hard to see, but Gunner almost died... This was an icy cliff at Bald Mtn. He was at the top, I was at the "path" half way down the cliff that continued back down the mountain waaay past where this picture was taken. Aragorn was smart... he looked over the edge and changed his mind. But not my dog... stinkin' death wish. He looked over and skiied down the cliff and came to a screaming halt at the path. I was screaming! I really thought that was the end of Gunner. Haha Stupid dog.

Taking a break at The Fit Stop! Oh wait... we were playing "Monkeys on the Wall"... we were out.

Climbing in Heber.
