Brian and I try to have a getaway each year for just the two of us. My family watched our kids in Richfield, where they had a wonderful time, and I so appreciate them loving our kids and making our trip possible!
This year's getaway was full of extra fun adventures! We hiked Mt. Timpanogos with Seth, went on a two day river rafting trip, and then had a relaxed day where we slept in, went to see a movie, went out to eat, and watched Midvale's incredible Harvest Day fireworks display. We had a wonderful time, but were ready to see our kiddos by the last day!
We had such an incredible time river rafting with some of our neighbors and friends! Jan and Brad Phillip's invited us to go on the neighborhood rafting trip and it was full of fun people and adventure. We rafted on the Snake River in Alpine, WY. The river was beautiful with some fun rapids. We also saw bald eagles, played board games and enjoyed a BBQ with everyone. We have been so blessed with our ward members and neighbors in Midvale. We are going to miss them so much when we move next year!
Mt. Timpanogos was a gorgeous 15 mile hike with more wildflowers than I've ever seen before. We saw mountain goats, slid down the glacier, and Seth took a swim in the freezing Emerald Lake. It is definitely one of my favorite hikes!
After about 4 miles we caught our first view of the summit. The wildflowers were gorgeous!
The glacier was more like a snowpack this year, and we had to dodge rocks, but it was fun to slide down! The Emerald Lake at the bottom was beautiful.
Seth took a swim in the Emerald Lake...it is straight ice melt. Brr!!
