Saturday was headed out on our first hike of 2020. The trail was more crowded than usual for this time of year, but the weather was lovely and I suppose we weren't the only ones in need of an adventure in the great outdoors.
We hiked up in Yellow Fork Canyon. It was beautiful and getting up and away from the world, almost made up forget what we're all experiencing down on the ground and around the world.
We hiked up a "peak" we hadn't ever hiked before. It was steeper than I (and Peter) prefer, but we made it. Only one of us cried a lot... and it wasn't me. But you know, he did fall down "like a thousand times". Also, one of us is prone to extreme drama and exaggeration as well.
Brothers on the hunt for lizards.
Baby lizard SUCCESS!!!
The hills are alive... with the sound of Corona.
Just look at that sky. Once you get a taste of hiking, you get itchy for more, and sooner rather than later. We're already planning a hike for later this week, not to mention every Saturday until normal life begins again. Once our regular activities pick back up, we can still hike, but we won't have as much time as we'll have the next few weeks. Gotta make the most of it.
Abe went off the beaten path and found a patch of snow.
Brothers Fox-- not the most stylish bunch, but they've got some good lizard catching skills.
They are my joys.
They are so different, but both equally delightful.

I adore when children pass through the really un-photogenic phase. With the first couple of kids I was concerned that maybe it was just them. But no-- it's a definite phase and it's hilarious.
And then they grow up and we spend a lot of money to straighten their teeth so we can enjoy their lovely smiles:)
I notice there is a real lack of photos of Faith on this hike. There are two reasons for that-- she is fourteen and somewhat "entitled" to be moody at times. That can include avoiding even a beloved mother. Also, she is a dang fast hiker and I couldn't keep up with her to get her picture.
Till next time....
