11 September 2016 - Mt. Timp

For Labor Day, we decided to attempt to climb Mt. Timpanogos. Our family was joined by our niece Hannah, our brother-in-law Eric, Joanne's stepdad Phil, and our friends the Larsens who recently moved from Pennsylvania to Kentucky to Utah. Here's a shot of the older two girls with Hannah.

After five hours of climbing, we reached the top.

It was a gorgeous day. On the very summit at 11,752 feet, the wind was a little cold, but we took our pictures, ate a few snacks, and then began our decent.
