Long time no see

I can't believe how hard it is to hike to the Y. I swear it is straight up. We started and it was a beautiful sunny day, about one turn into it I swear the temp went up about 15 degrees. It was blazing hot, there were clouds out there, but the just didn't want to go in front of the sun. by about half way up they did start to play peek-a-boo a little but it was still crazy hot. I don't think I would have made it on my own, good thing I had lots of support even if they did go on ahead. Sissy was kind enough to stay back so we could nurse our head colds together. Next time we will bring inhalers, neck coolers and our jazzys to cruise up the trail! It really turned out to be a fun trip and we do want to do it again maybe at the end of the summer when it cools down a bit, Brandon was my only child that could go so next time we will get every one up there for a family portrait. Tim says next week we will try rock canyon, easier trail! We did encounter a little bit of wild life and I don't just mean Colton and Chase! The boys found a lizard on the Y, and as we were coming down the trail a snake slithered across the trail. Any one who knows Sissy knows snakes just aren't happening. Alexis yelled out "MOM STOP!" (she has obviously been in the vicinity at previous snake sightings) and Sissy did. She could see it from there. As Tim scared it off the trail Sissy hurried down. I forgot how bad she hates them. I am not a fan, and am glad it didn't come out in front of me. It was a great family gathering, Tims fam, Kristens fam, Chase & Colton, Me Dennis Brandon and Brit, Hopefully more next time.
