Bryan, John (his dad), Andrew (his brother) and Mike (his brother-in-law) hiked Mt. Whitney last week. They left after Sacrament Meeting on Sunday and drove to Lone Pine to begin their hike on Monday.
Meanwhile, back at home the girls...and Ethan, played around. On Monday we went swimming at Sand Hollow Aquatics Center and then to Golden Spoon for ice cream. The kids loved it and Courtney got chocolate all over her face.
Tuesday, Grandma and Lisa took Ethan bowling while Courtney and I went to the eye doctor. Then Grandma, Lisa and I went to Tuacahn to see "Les Miserables," which was very good by the way. Wednesday we hung around and shopped. Thursday we girls got pedicures and then went to Ethan's last day of swimming and to Veyo outdoor pool. It was so much fun!
Friday morning we left Ivins pretty early in the morning to drive to Lone Pine, California. We drove to the trail head and picked up the van to drive to the Whitney Portal where the guys would end their hike. We thought we had plenty of time so we ran back to the motel, had a swim, ate some dinner and then were loading up in the van when the guys called to tell us they were at the Portal and ready to come back to the motel. We were so bummed! We ended up waiting for them on the street by the motel so we could greet them somehow.
After showers (which they really needed after 5 days of hiking!) we all went to dinner and then bed. Saturday morning we woke up, ate breakfast, took pictures and drove to Las Vegas where Grandpa and Andrew took a flight back to Denver. The rest of us went on to Ivins.
Mike and Lisa left today and Grandma leaves on Wednesday (she wants to stay for Courtney's birthday on Tuesday).
It's been so much fun and they all had a great time on the hike.
