Hiking the "Y" husbandless!

There is a big painted "Y" on the mountain above the bYu campus that we hiked to yesterday. You can see it from miles around and it is a fun hiking destination. Diana and I have planned to hike twice before with husbands but due to bad weather we had postponed it. This Saturday we had beautiful weather and decided that we would do it without our husbands who were dilligently studying ALL of Saturday. (We could do a marathon, so we could do anything!)

Our 2 cute boys thought it was fantastic to be carried and see everything at a great height. They both got a well deserved cat nap and felt like a sack of potatoes! The previous day we went with a family for a "stroll" up the canyon and Beth was shocking. Complained the whole time. So before we ventured off on our hike, mum had a serious talk to Beth. She was nearly turning 5, she was a big girl, etc. (Yes, I included a bribe!!) Well, she was fantastic! We also all enjoyed icecreams at the creamery afterwards!!

Savannah was fantastic at helping the 2 younger girls. She played fun games with them and motivated them the whole way. (One game was spotting different annimals. Well she said you get bonus points for seeing a cougar! Well I told her if she spotted one, the game would be the last thing she thought about!!

I told Hyum if he was super fast, I would give him 50 cents and it backfired on me. He had the backpack which had the drinks and snacks and when we wanted them he was nowhere to be found. He wanted that money!!

This photo doesn't show you, but it was super steep and we had a few accidents and tears trying to climb parts of the painted Y.

My children wanted a photo of how they truly felt...............SMASHED!

I was amazed at how great my children did.

Go team Liddicoats!
