Before Steve left on his mission, he made me promise not to hike to the "Y" on the mountain until he returned. Since we were never really serious, I didn't take the committment too seriously. When I got to BYU I had a few opportunities to hike come up, but nothing awkward like some guy taking me on a date up there, which I couldn't get out of. So when Steve returned home from his mission, we hiked it together. It was kind of special for us. During this trip, we decided to take our boys up the mountain. The hike to the "Y" is quite short, yet extremely steep. Many people assume it will be easy, but it's a pretty difficult albeit short hike. We assumed that we would have to carry Hewitt most of the way and Donny the entire way. But our boys surprised us. Both Thomas and Hewitt climbed to the top all by themselves with little motivation from us. It was fun and absolutely beautiful.

Looks awesome--we miss those BYU days! Tell Steve hi & hug the kiddos!
Sounds fun! What are you in Utah for? (Did I tell you we just moved to Texas? Otherwise we could say hi!)
Great photos! That's amazing that Thomas AND Hewitt made it the whole way. You've got some tough boys.
I didn't know your "Y" story. That is so fun. You have some tough boys, but they come from some good blood. ;)
Glad you enjoyed it all!
That's awesome! But why is Steve wearing a RED shirt?! Go cougs! Miss you guys, especially during the football season. Games are pretty quiet around here now. :)
I just love that you took the boys up Y mountain! What a memory! And I am way impressed that they made it all the way :). You have some tough cookies.
Wish we could have been in Utah to see you... hope all is well... We love you guys!
Look at those cute boys! I can't believe how big they are. My older two love hiking too. Their favorite thing is to go out to Ridley Creek State Park and hack their way through the woods. Such boys!
