CONQUERERS!

It's been a month since labor day but that's when we went on our "hike" of Timpanogos. Who would have known that you can buy tickets to go through the cave ahead of time or that labor day weekend was so popular for the cave.
Well we got there and the wait was 3 hours, that's just to begin hiking timpanogos and then you have an hour and a half to get up to the cave. So if you get up there sooner, you have to wait for your call time. Well we didn't want it to be all for nothing, so we decided to make the hike anyway. It didn't take us an hour and a half to get to the top but when we got there we ate our lunch and thought about eating our walking fudge. That's right we had brought the ingredients in our ziplocs and you just smoosh it the whole time you walk and at the end WA-LA you have fudge. My bag got a hole in it on the way up... but I managed to keep it in the bag. We didn't actually get to go all the way in the cave, but a nice tour guide let us go through the first room.
Elaina (sister-in-law) and I thought this sign was so funny. It said not to stop on the red line because there was a possibility of avalanche, but in order to read the sign completely, WE STOPPED!! that's a true story. Then we took a picture of it on the way down. It was the warmest day of the whole week. 98 YIKES but such a good way to spend the weekend.
We just didn't think to stretch before or after so we felt the hike for several days after. "HEY GUYS don't stop on the red line!"

We just hiked this a few weeks ago and that is a very pretty hike! Dummy me didn't notice any signs and I had no idea that is what those lines were!!
