Hiking the Y

Nephew/cousin Charlie gets married on Saturday, and the Brinkerhoffs are in town. YAY!! Kent and I drove to Herriman this afternoon to meet with Michelle and check out the luncheon venue, and then we met up with everyone, including Lee, Cammie, and Aaron, to have dinner. Because of social distancing, we all ate at separate tables, so it wasn't really dinner "together," but it is always wonderful to be with our favorite (don't tell anyone else!) Barri cousins. 

The youth wanted to hike to the Y this evening, and in spite of adult dissuasion, they went. We offered flashlights, a pre-hike bathroom stop, and snacks, Michelle drove them to the trailhead, and Lee met up with them so there would be some adult supervision. He also brought his radio, so we talked to him as they were all up on the Y.

Blythe reports that the hike was "AWESOME!" She said, "We beat these highschoolers, because they kept stopping like every stopping point." Our hikers stopped every two spots. Brandt said, "It was great. Uncle Lee brought candy. He said we lose calories as we hike, so the candy will help." Fine reports from the children.

They returned very late, but happy to have hiked and been with Tess, Jace, Lydia, Kate (Lydia's friend), and Lee. While they were hiking, Kent and I had a great visit with Tad and Annie and got all caught up on everyone's news. We do love being with family, and we are excited to celebrate Charlie's marriage on Saturday.
