Rick has been a broken record lately getting the point across to me that we are going to be active this summer doing hiking, biking, camping, etc. I told him I got the idea after about ten times of him mentioning it to me this past week, but that didn't stop him, I think he repeated it about 20 more times after that, haha. So, I decided that I would satisfy his craving for some outdoor adventure and we went and hiked Y mount this past Saturday. I was a little nervous because last year when I did this hike...mmm...well...didn't go to good for me. Let's just say I didn't eat breakfast before and I had to stop every 10 steps to take a break, pretty embarrasing. I definitely do not pride myself in being a good hiker so I was a little nervous about how I would do this time.
Me before the hike. I looked happy, but inside I wasn't too pumped.
Rick and I before the journey. After I took this picture I said to Rick, "You are smiling wierd, just smile normal". Well this next pic is what he gave me........
LOL. Yeah, we didn't take any more up close after that:)
We went with our friends Ryan and Rachel who just moved here from California. They have two kids who are the cutest.
We got to the the "Y" and I was so happy cause I had done really well without too much huffing and puffing, but.....
These insane boys thought maybe we should go to the very tippity top of the whole stinkin' mountain. After a little contemplation the final decision was.....
YES....ahhh.
So we kept going and I was actually pretty happy we did, we saw some cool views and burned a lot more calories. Here is Rachel overlooking the beautiful view.
Adorable Andrew. He is such a trooper, walked pretty much the whole way, ALL 4 HOURS!! He was full of questions the whole time and fascinated by all the lizards and snakes we saw.
Us at the top, atleast the top of
our journey. We didn't make it the whole way that we were planning on. It was a little bit farther that we had thought it would be, hehe. After we got down the mountain we snarfed down a JDawg..yum!!! It was so much fun to get out and do something with the weather FINALLY being nice. It really got me excited for this summer and all the outdoor goodness we have ahead of us.
On a side note, we got a new car. We got rid of Rick's big truck and got a little car with good gas mileage. We tried doing the one car thing for a few weeks and we decided that even though we work at the same building and could make it work if we wanted, we are just not the couple who can have one car. We are so pumped, it's really nice and 1/2 the payment we had with the truck. Yay for saving money!! Below is a picture of our new beauty!!
Our beautiful tent. 
Scott looking like a turtle with a massive shell. There is never a lack of laughs when Scott is around.
The boys cutting down our firewood.....
such lumberjacks.....
Rick even took his shirt off for the occasion:)
Scott and Dana. So cute.
Enjoying the campfire. It got so hot it burnt my lips and they have been chapped for the past 3 days. So worth it though. I love love love campfire.
Dana has a photographic memory for every movie quote in the history of cinema. It sucks big time because I am notorious for forgetting EVERYthing from movies. While she is quoting funny movies and has everyone rolling, I am sitting clueless trying to catch up. She is unbelievable!
Scott, Rick and I burning some bad memories. Nuff said:) It was wonderful!
