San Jacinto Hike

 So for Liz's birthday her wish was for us to Hike Mt San Jacinto.  It was a 11.6 mile hike.  So in the name of love for Liz we all got our gear and headed up.  You have to take a tram to 8,300 feet and then you start your hike from there to reach the summit.  We were a little worried because just walking up the steep parking lot to the tram winded us all!

   We had such a fun time and feel very accomplished after hiking this!

All of us riding up the tram.........

 Getting ready to start our long hike!

Quality Family Time

 

 About 1,000 feet to go.

 Hiding in a tree that was struck by lightning

This is where we paused and stopped for lunch.  Liz will love to tell you about a squirrel that kept freaking me out during our stop.  He kept getting creepishly close and I thought for sure it was going to bite me.  I ended up eating the rest of my lunch looking over my shoulders.

 

 Still going.....

This is how Travis got Paige up to the top, it was great team work!

San Jacinto Summit 10,834ft

We made it and we were above the clouds!

Liz showing her love to me!

Even though this picture is blurry, I like it because it has the sign in it for proof!  We all sang "Happy Birthday" to Liz at the top and then to the random guy in the back round of the picture below because he said he just had his birthday too.....

Clint & Paige, Travis & Meredith, Liz & Jeremy on the way up we kept singing "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

Meredith, Paige, and Liz on the top.

Travis doing a hand stand on the very tip top of the mountian.....Clint (afraid of heights) couldn't even watch, he said watching that is worse than a Horror Film!

We were on our way down and took a rest and Clint got us laughing, he said he was ready to just give up! HaHa!

Finished Sisters & Brother!

This was such an awesome day.  We got to spent time with each other with absolutely no distractions and got to just visit, tell stories, and laugh.  Happy Birthday Liz!
