Week Two

Well, it's hard to believe that I'm in the second week of our visit already. My Dad and Terrie left on Monday, Molly and I had a quiet time Monday and Tuesday while the boys were in camp. We gave ourselves permission to do nothing more strenuous than walk to the library, camp and watch Elmo. Seems crazy not to hike everyday when you are here but a vacation should involve some downtime too. On Tuesday afternoon, my Mom and step-Dad arrived. We had some nice walks through town on Tuesday evening.

On Wednesday, we sent the boys off to their second overnight camp out. This one is to the ghost town of Alta - I am jealous! Its funny how a hike I thought would be too tough for them, they can handle with their camp group. Did I mention that they hiked up to Bear Creek falls on Monday? I guess that is the "Falls Hike Take 3." Drew tells me that the falls were really cool. Maybe I'll make it to one - someday. Wednesday morning, the non-campers went up the gondola to catch the view and then on the river walk. During Molly's nap, Derek (step-dad) and I went on the Jeb Weibe trail. Amazing views and a good 3 hour walk up and back down the ridge on the north side of town. Of course, I need to do the hike again with Andy who is currently sitting on the runway in Philly :( on another of his marathon business trips. I also need a nap and I believe Derek needs Oxygen!

towards the west side - supposedly Utah is visible somewhere...

Proof that I made it up!
