Hiking and Picnicking

The Young Women planned a combined activity with the Young Men to hike the Wild Rose Trail. Here some of us are at the look-out point where we could see out over all of North Salt Lake and Bountiful.

The next day I met the girls and the grandchildren at the Wild Rose Trailhead Park. The place where we hiked and took the picture of the YM and YW is on top of the mountain above Rebecca's head. That dark speck up there is the bench we were standing by to take the photo.

We ate our sack lunches and then Rebecca needed to leave to pick up Brooke at school on her early-out day.

Sarah, Eli, Carson and I headed off to hike the trail.

Carson had to stop at every single dandelion--and I mean every single one--to try and blow off or brush off all the seeds.

Eli took a moment to stop and enjoy the view.

Let's just say there is no picture of us at the top of the mountain sitting on the bench taking our picture proving we made it because we didn't make it. We didn't even make it halfway up. Carson got tired and wanted to be held. We turned around to walk back down the trail. Then Eli was trying to get me to carry him. How happy we were to spot the park and see our vehicles.

 Here's a picture of Eli showing me the plant he planted in pre-school.

One night I went to babysit Eli and Carson.

It turned out the popcorn and the movie kept them entertained the whole time.
