On the fourth of July I met up with my family and we all hiked up to the Y (BYU - Y mountain). I wont even begin to count how many times we have passed by the 'Y' mountain, and I have never thought to hike up to it. So when the chance to hike it came, I jumped at the chance. It was a lot of fun. Many members of my family hiked up. Rob (who bleeds blue) did not hike up with us - but opted to hang out with Karlee. Lets just say he doesn't like to hike as much as I do. Never having hiked it before I was unaware of what to expect. The trail was steep with lots of switchbacks.

My mom and I - So fun to spend time with my mom!

This next picture has such a story behind it. This is my brother Troy and his little girl Alyia. About 10 feet into the hike, Alyia sat down and cried that she was tired and that she was done. So Troy carried her on his shoulders most if not the whole way up to the top. She would cry when he would tell her that he wasn't going to carry her anymore and then you would see Alyia on his shoulders a little later. What a good little hiker!. Troy said that he will not invite her again.haha.
