Spring break is one of my most favorite times of the year, I LOVE knowing that I have a week to catch up & spend with my boys!! We have endless time to do fun 'day trips', going places that we enjoy!!
Every year I try to figure out something new that we haven't done before & toss that into the equation....well this year, MATT came up with the idea....
"Let's hike up to the Y on the mountain!!" he says....
Now then I have lived in Provo my entire life (except when I was on my mission & when I was a nanny) & I have NEVER, EVER had a desire to hike up to sit on the Y...but this time it actually sounded FUN!!?? really hiking & fun in the same sentence?? hmmmm (must be those early mornings & the lack of chocolate that is clouding my mind!!)
So up we got on Saturday, Matt packed the backpack (now mind you I had NO idea what he put in there until I put the pack on - being nice, we were going to take turns carrying it) I teased him all the way up that he took the entire fridge!! (he is a good sport)
At first I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it, we hadn't even hit the third turn & I was sweating buckets, had my jacket off (I was the only one winded mind you), felt the burn in my legs like no other & was wheezing all the while!! Then I took the fridge off my back & sailed the rest of the way up....
It was so amazing to sit up on the side of the mountain with Matt & the boys & know that I had the strength to enjoy such a hike....to be a PART of the adventure, rather than send everyone else off to have the fun!!
AMAZING!!!
What a great family exercise and time spent together. You are in great shape if you can climb Y mountain. I did that 45 years ago!! I wouldn't even try now. Sounds like great fun for all of you. Did you think coming down was more difficult?
ReplyDeleteI was up there once, on the back of a motorcyle!
