Ensign Peak


For a combined activity, the youth in our ward were going to climb Ensign Peak. (For those who don't know what Ensign Peak is, it is where Brigham Young climbed up and proclaimed that this was the place.) Mike being somewhat in charge of the activity, wanted to make sure he could find the place and make sure the youth could climb it. So on Saturday, all of our family except Ashley (because she has a hurt foot) drove into Salt Lake and climbed Ensign Peak. It was a fairly easy hike. The kids enjoyed picking the Acorns off the tree and eating them as they hiked along. It was so pretty to see the Salt Lake Valley from so high above. Mandy had an attitude and didn't enjoy waiting for her mom to take pictures of the family with her cell phone camera. (I'm trying to figure it out. What can I say, it's a new phone.) But over all it was a huge success. Especially when you get to go eat at Wendy's when the hike is over.
