Thursday in PROVO: Hike Y & Canyon Glen (add photos)

 Thursday morning I went over to spend time with Jessica, Marissa, and Cayson

Shopping!  This morning I did more shopping - It's all I do.  I tried to find some cute maternity clothes for Jessica but there just weren't any she liked. 

Lunch with Robert and Jessica:  Today I treated Jessica and Cayson and Robert to lunch at my favorite place in Provo - you guessed it - Zuppa's.  It was so nice to have more time with them, just talking.  Robert had other plans for the day and then he was leaving for St. George so this would probably be the last I see him, unless he makes it back before we leave.  Also, Cayson will be going down for a nap, and Jessica's not been feeling well so she will too.

It was such a beautiful day.  Jessica and Cayson went down for a nap, so I decided to go back to the hotel, but there really wasn't anything to do there, so I decided to go hike the Y.  Marissa called so I asked if everyone would like to go with me.  They all said yes, except we let Jessica and Cayson sleep.  (Jessica is recovering from a flu/cold).  

Why Not Hike the Y - Robert, Devon and Sierra, Marissa and Michael and I hiked the Y.  The Y is a hard hike - short but very steep!  I did well... I was surprised how well I did.  Robert was the first to the top; Devon would have been first, except he came back to walk with Sierra whom was taking it very slow.  He is such a good husband!  I enjoyed a leisurely walk with Michael and Marissa for most of the hike and had a chance to talk with them.  They are so cute!  Then I somehow moved on and ended up at the top second.  WOW!  We all waited for Devon and Sierra to get to the top to enjoy the view.  You could really see for miles.  You could also visibly see the smoke from the California fires coming into the valley.  There were 11 strikes of lightning in California that started several fires that have spread out-of-control.  It's terrifying how fast fire spreads. I couldn't believe the smoke has traveled as far as Utah.  After a short break and some photos, I decided to run down the mountain.  What a scare!  Trying to slow down is about all I really did.  I felt so out of control most of the time.  Luckily Mark called to see where everyone was - we were supposed to have dinner at 6:00 - oops.  Once we all reached the bottom - I dropped off the kids and headed to the hotel to pick up Mark. 

Mark and I went to shop for food then meet everyone for a picnic at Canyon Glen.  Betsy laid out a massive spread of sandwich meats, cheese, toppings, sides and fixings.  We had chips, pickles, watermelon galore. 

At the Picnic at Canyon Glen we tossed the football, frisbee and played with Cayson a ton.  It got dark before we were ready to leave - it was such a fun night.  We had wanted to play volleyball but all the nets were down.  bummer!
