Utah Day 6

Today we had to squeeze in hiking the "Y" Mountain. This was also a family favorite last year, and another thing we did without Molly (she loved the attention she got from Grandma and Aunt Julie at home). It was the ONLY "warm" day during our spring break and so we saved the best for last.

We left around 9 a.m. and began our hike (it was about 50 degrees). Luckily the sun was shining and we even ended up taking off our sweatshirts during the hike. After getting to the top of the "Y" we like to go even higher up the mountain to where there are some HUGE rocks. We stopped there, had a snack and then headed back down. Three falls, one six year old being carried piggy-back, and 2 hours later we were back at Grandma's.

Hiking a little past the "Y" on the backside of the mountain.

Sam needed a little help getting down the mountain.

Then we went to my niece, Cassie's baptism. We figured out this year we have three cousins (on both sides) that will be baptised. I love attending family events with my kids. It helps them to see that all their cousins have the same goals as they do.

All the Thompson grand kids (minus two nieces). Look at all those red-heads.

Meg and Abbie had almost too much fun together. They were sad to say goodbye.
