TIMP HIKE!!

Quinn's Dad put together a Summer of Fun Calendar and on that list was to hike Mt. Timpanogos so we can check that one off. We debated about bringing Peyton because its an 1hour and 30 min up and I mean up and then an 1hour in the cave and 30 min down but you know what she proved us wrong not a single whine or "can you carry me" came out of her mouth. The views incredible, the cave amazing and the hike down harder then the hike up, especially for someone who has bad knees and a small bladder:) But what a fun time and my kids can't wait to go back!!
The amazing views
The cave had some of the coolest features and boy did you want to touch them and pull them off. Some were like HUGE icicles that you just wanted to break down like you do in the Winter time but they frowned upon those ideas. Quinn even asked what would happen if you did and the guide said "just don't touch them and we don't have to worry about what would happen to you"
This picture I just don't know what to say. Quinn said they used to call them the Salt and Pepper shakers. I think they look like something else:)
Getting ready for the hike.
Caleb, Peyton and Tate
Listening to the ranger about all the boring stuff, like no running, no pushing, stay away from the edge!!
The whole family about 1/2 way up
The kids resting, thanks heaven for Grandpa bringing licorice, that was their motivation because at each bench they would get more.
Peyton, Taylor, Caleb, Connor, Brooklyn and Tate
