Hike to Ensign Peak

#1 Yes the girls and I hiked to the top of Ensign Peak.  #2 I am gonna hurt the person who listed the hike to Ensign Peak as a young child friendly hike.  I figured that if you can do it with little kids it would be a safe enough level for an out of shape Mom.  I thought wrong!!

Here we are at the start of the hike.  I have no clue what I have gotten myself in for yet. 

 Thank heavens for the periodic sets of stone seats at the edges of the trail.  We didn't use every one of them, but we did use most of them.

 We made it!!  The view was awesome.  Bobbie had tons of fun taking pictures at the top.  Now we just had to get back down the trail without someone tripping and falling.

 I had packed a lunch with the intention of eating it at the top for a rest, however only Bobbie was hungry.  So Bobbie had part of her lunch and Dahlia and I ate ours later at the car.

 Dramatic picture by a trail marker . . . taken on the way down . . .when I had enough energy to think Hmmm maybe we should take a picture of the girls by a trail marker.

 Note to self:  Next time let the girls carry the backpack.

Note to self: Let either of the girls carry the backpack.  They both begged for a chance and enjoyed every second of it.

 We made it back down safe and sounds.  No trips, no falls, no injuries.  Woo Hoo!!!  Next time no picking a trail that is 3/4 switch backs and all uphill!!

Then we went to a park because the girls STILL had tons of energy left.  We stayed there for a while trying to run some energy out of them.  No such luck!!!  

If only I could bottle their energy and sell it!!

Until next time remember:

Love the Seher Gals!!!
