Family Outing

Couple of weeks ago, we ventured out for a ride. We headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It had been many a year since we had gone up there. We were in search of possible colored leaves. It was a beautiful drive, not much change in the way of leaves, but just a pleasant experience, being together, and enjoying what the Lord has created. We made it all the way to the top, up to Brighton and Solitude. We got out, and decided to make our way up to Mary's lake. Supposedly a 1 mile jaunt. I am sure it is just a mile, but it sure felt forever as we made our way straight up the mountainside. We didn't make it all the way to Mary's Lake, but we made it to the waterfall, and Dog Lake. The kids had so much fun. We met a couple and started to visit with them. We found out that the woman had turned 50 in March, and had made the goal to do 50 hikes in her 50th year. I believe she was on hike 36. What a fun goal. Maybe one day, I will come up with some kind of goal like that, something to add to my bucket list.
