Mount Timpanogos Cave

For those of you that didn't know, Steven (my brother) and Christy (his wife) had a baby girl in August. She was to be blessed in September. My mom came from Texas to Utah so that she could be there for the blessing. The Friday before the blessing, she wanted to go up to Timpanogos Cave. She went to BYU when she was in college but never got around to this hike. She thought it would be a fun family outing...

If you have ever been on this hike, sure its paved and everything but it is really steep and it takes about an hour and a half to walk to the top. It is tiring in and of itself. BUT if you want an extra workout, try carrying an 18 month old the whole way up then through the cave tour (that takes 45 minutes) THEN all the way back down. That was the most exhausting experience. To say the least. The very least.

The best part about doing things like this is laughing about it afterward and wondering what mom was thinking...or if she ever really does...

The very beginning. This is where Gavin could actually walk before it got too steep.Not 20 minutes in the kids needed a snack.
While everyone is still smiling.
I think Torin is going to get into rock climbing.
Amazing views.

Looks like a lot of hard but rewarding (i.e. the view, the time together, etc.) work. The boys look great. Hope to see them next summer.
