What a hike!

Our friends came out from Nebraska and invited us to go on a hike with them. They wanted to go to the Timp Caves. To tell you the honest truth I was wondering how this would go. They are from a really flat state and this hike is not.
They did the hike like it was nothing. They are my hero's! As we kept climbing and we got higher and higher our friend Mandi's Mom Sue got scared. You forget that you could easily fall off the edge there. It was even scary for me.
The hike in and of itself was beautiful. Everything was so green and a little cloudy which helped to keep us happier. If you ever want to go on this hike go in the morning. It was perfect then and not that many people. Also if you want to take your kids I recommend that you wait until they are old enough to really enjoy it and can stay close to you.
Once we finally made it to the cave it was well worth the hike. Being inside was so beautiful. It is amazing what things are inside the earth. I took a lot of crazy pictures. Still I am only sharing a few. When you look back the pictures all started to look the same. Still every where welooked it was different.
We had a great going with our friends Justin and Mandi and their family. Can you believe that it was Tim and my first times to the Caves?! That is right, first time! The great wonders of being in Utah.

That was such a blast. And boy oh boy was I sore a couple days after. lol I've decided I'm going to start training to hike to the top next summer with Justin's family. :) It's just so beautiful. I love the outdoors.

When we finally decide on a location where we will leave near to each other, it has to have A LOT of outdoor hiking/trails....deal? :)
