Hiking the Why!

So, Weston accomplished the big task of hiking the Y this week and Hyrum did it for his... probably 4th or5 th time... Zach had a break and Kristi and her kids came too and we hiked and hiked. When we were done, we stopped at Zach's parent's house to pick up some stray mail but Grandma wasn't home so Hyrum left her a note. "Hi Grandma. We just hiked the Why. Love Hyrum." :) Here are the pictures:

This is the kids just starting out- notice, no scraped knees or red faces...

Hyrum snacking, about half way up- notice the city behind.

Weston being silly- though it just looks like something in his eye...

Hyrum and Zach on the top at the Y!

Kristi and her kids at the Y- Lydia made the trip in the traditional Smith backpack... I think I rode in that!

More funny things from the boys:

Weston: Mom, my window is all frogged up back here!

Hyrum: Hey Mom, I think they are grueling back here! (they were GRILLING)

Weston: Oooh, Mom, I don't want that for dinner. It's yucky. Mom: No, it's yummy. It has cheese, and sour cream, carrots, a little bit of soup... Weston: And a little bit of yucky...

Hyrum: How do you write finger? Mom: F. I. N... Hyrum: What? No, it starts with T.H. Mom: No it starts with F. Hyrum: It's Finger? I thought it was Thinger... (all this time, he's called them thingers!)

A conversation with Weston: Mommy: Weston, tell Daddy about the emu we saw. Weston: What emu? Mommy: The one we saw on the bike ride. Weston: What bike ride? Mommy: The one we took this morning. Remember, we saw the big bird? Weston: What big bird? Mommy: The big bird with the orange eyes and the long legs we saw on our bike ride this morning! Weston: Oh, the one with the feathers? Mommy: Yep, that would be it!
