Climbing the Mountain

When I was in the hospital having Cadence, Mark would stay home at night and bring Canon to visit during the days.  On the way to the hospital there's a view of the huge mountains.  Canon then told Mark that he wanted to climb the mountain...so Mark told him that he might take him on a Saturday soon.  Well, every time Canon was in the car and he saw the mountains (and let's face it, we live in Ogden, UT...you always see mountains if you're outside!!), he would remind Mark that he wanted to climb that mountain.  So, Mark agreed and took Canon for a hike on June 30th.

Here are the pictures Mark got with his phone.








Mark said that Canon did a really good job on the hike.  They hiked in for about an hour, and then on the way back Canon got tired.  So Mark picked him up for about 10 minutes, at which point he said Mark's back pack straps were hurting his legs...so he walked the rest of the way.  What a trooper!

Canon seemed to enjoy that so much (and Mark figures he could use the exercise), we invited Mark's brother's family out for more hiking fun in the following weeks.  Brian, Megan, and Cameron all went with them this time.  Tiffany and Lily stayed back at our place with me and Cadence and had a nice little visit.





After they were done with their hike, we all had hot dogs and Italian sausages for lunch and then headed to the pool.  It was great fun!  Thanks for coming to visit,  Brian and Tiff!  I hope we can do it again before the summer is over...especially since now I can join you guys in the pool!  :)
