Dear Family,
It is 1:30am and I can't sleep although I should be tired, and so I decided this ia a good time to write since I won't be rushed or interrupted.
Yesterday was Dad's birthday and he decided we should go for a hike. He found a hike in this book Sadie gave him on hiking trails in Utah and we headed out for the high Uintas. Our hike was considered an easy one but we were still pretty tired by the end. It was six miles all above 10,000 feet. We hiked past one beautiful lake after another. It took us three hours to do the whole thing. I kept thinking of our hike up Mt. Elbert in Colorado which was over 14,000 and how Dustin ran up it while the rest of us could barely make it. The evening before our hike we rode up to Vivian Park on our bikes after work, which is about 8 miles up and 8 back. We are either trying to get into shape or kill ourselves. That bike ride was crueling and I wonder how I will make it 12 miles for the triathalon in two weeks.
So there's our exciting news for the week. Hope you all are doing well.
Love Mom
