Adam's Canyon

Adam's Canyon is located on the East Bench of Layton. You start hiking up a steep incline in SAND! I must say that was the hardest part of the hike. Soon you wrap around a hill and head straight into the mountain, where we found shade and cool temperatures! This is the most beautiful hike I have been on! There was so much to look at, it was the perfect day in every way!


This is a common picture of Karen and I being that we hike every Wednesday and Saturday together! We have been having so much fun together and we are looking forward to reaching our goals by the summers end!

My Mom has never been on a hike in her whole life, so we brought her along for her very first adventure. Shelley said we are never going to be invited for a weekend and her house because, this was not on the agenda! Guess what? She is just as addicted to hiking as we are and we have already planned an over night hike for the 5Th of August!! Derek is a pro at hiking and had no problems, he even helped us over the rocks and through the sand!!

I love this picture of Shelley, you can't tell me she wasn't having fun!!

Mom was having a hard time going down so Derek held on to her as if she was on a dog leash, we laughed about this for hours!!

The river was so awesome, It was so peaceful and relaxing! I could sit by it for hours.

Love this picture of my mom's face!!! She was like wait, I want to be in this one!!!

Finally making it back to the car!! This was a big accomplishment for my Mom and sister Shelley! So proud of them!!

Braces!

So, we finally made it to the day Madi has been waiting for! BRACES!! Little did she know what she was in for!

How come they didn't have this device when I got mine on? This made for a very fast placement of her braces!

I love this picture, because i told her to smile and it really looks like she is trying to, lol she must think I'm the most embarrassing mother but, i don't care I thought it was fun!!

She picked red and blue bands and on the way home I had to laugh because she was looking in the mirror and Say's " I should have picked bands that accented my eye's!! Who thinks like that?? So funny.. Today she is on ibuprofen and not eating much and a little cranky but, this will pass in a few days and she will get used to them..
