Backpacking

Lft to rt: Adrienne, Scott, Kenzie, Shane, Keith, Ty, Me, Landon

Labor day weekend we took a trip to the Wind rivers. We hiked in 8 miles to a beautiful campground away from everyone! Of course I was the dumb one to buy new shoes the week before, so I had blisters the first mile in.

Ty and I have never been backpacking TOGETHER! It's one of the few things we have always planned on doing, and just hadn't made time for it.

This is how Ty and Scott spent most of the trip.... FISHING.

So Arienne and I spent most the time together. (Thanks Adrienne for being my buddy.) Scott and Adrienne brought their dog Sue who is still a puppy, but did amazingly well. She was like a mountain goat climbing up the rocks. What an amazing dog.

Scott is warming her up after a cold swim.

After a day hike up to some waterfalls we took the plunge to swim in the ICE cold lake. Notice my sexy knee high socks. (I had to keep my blisters covered, and they kept me warm too)

Ty lost is favorite fishing lure, so he went in to get it. He's CRAZY!

Our amazing camp site! We didn't see anyone near us all weekend.

This is the view by our campsite! Breath taking!

On the way out Ty and Scott took one last swim. They couldn't get the guts to swim back from the rock because it was so cold. So Adrienne and I helped them out a little and stole their shoes, socks and shirts and started hiking with out them. Oh, and we were nice enough to drop a sock or shirt along the way. We finally dropped their shoes about a mile up the trail. (Aren't we nice wives?) We were scared to death what they were going to do to us so were hiked as fast as we could hoping they wouldn't catch us. Lucky for us they never caught up til we got to the cars. They surprised us with a nice cup of water down our backs. It was totally worth it! Sometimes I think I am hilarious. Ha Ha

Ty and Scott didn't think it was too funny!

It was a beautiful hike. I'm ready to go again! This time my shoes should be broken in.
