What a hike...

Brent and I have just been waiting for a nice weekend so we could get out of the house and go on a nice out-and-back hike. We were hoping for two weekends ago, but that was a bust; so when we found out this last Saturday was supposed to be nice, we started planning our hike. It took most of Saturday morning getting our bag packed. Brent acted like we were going to be stranded out there for days. He packed everything from waterproof matches to thermal blankets. (like I said we have been very anxious to get outside) After taking quite a bit of stuff out of the bag we loaded dog, child, bag and were on our way to the A.F. Canyon.

It was such a nice day, we had our windows down, shades on, and Brent even had shorts on. When we first arrived it seemed nice enough, but as we drove deeper into the canyon, we were surprised to see so much snow on the ground... still, we kept driving to our destination. When we got to Tibble Fork Reservoir the road leading to where we needed to go was closed, and there was quite a bit more snow. In fact other families that were there were getting out their sleds, and walking towards some hills. We even saw a trailer full of snow mobiles! I don't know what we were thinking--we thought it would be a little chilly but snowmobiles! It's Spring! This is precisely why I hate Spring!

We ended up driving back down the canyon where there wasn't as much snow and found this dinky little trail--we didn't even need to carry our back pack full of "important supplies". We were determined to do something though and still had fun; however I think Sam had the most fun! The scenery was really pretty so we took some shots. I am hoping come May we will be able to go on the hike we have been planning forever!
