Hiking Timp

As if I have not put my body through enough--over Labor Day weekend Lisa and Jen and I decided to hike Timp. We were pretty excited about it, until we were hiking it. But first Lisa and I decided to go to Swiss Days. Love it. I live for the ham and swiss. It's my favorite. The next thing I love are the scones. My cousin Preston had the best idea. He said "Swiss Days only comes once a year so eat up." Oh and Lisa and I ate up. We also love a cookie there called bratslies. (I don't know how to spell it) Then Lisa and I walked around and spent money.


Enjoying my ham and swiss. (until next year) Preston and me and Melissa, getting out scone by the backdoor. (we didn't have to pay!)


Here comes the hike. I was kind of dreading it. I was just tired. I was hoping for the meadow only.

Happy Hikers

This was the sight of one of the breaks. We needed to fuel up. And convince ourselves that we could make to the meadow.

Refueling...and convincing us to make it to the saddle. Thanks Lisa for the Thanksgiving analogy. We were sitting there looking up at the saddle and thought, huh, we are here and it's not that far. We said we were going to make it to the saddle so when we don't, it' s like huh... and then Lisa said, "I feel like I cooked Thanksgiving dinner and now I don't get to eat it"

Yup..that did it.

Lisa and I can pretty much talk each other into anything. (little windy at the top)

Just finished eating "dinner" and now heading back down. We celebrated by eating at the Purple Turtle. Next year, we think we will just stay at Swiss Days and eat up.
