The Saturday before Halloween we decided to go hike the Y. It was pretty cold and the sun never came out to shine on us, but it was much better than doing it in the summer when you just sweat to death! We loved it so much.
Ava and Jackson both did an amazing job. Ava didn't complain one single time which was so shocking! And Jackson walked almost the entire way, I just gave him a piggy back ride a couple times but they were short.
Kallie actually probably did the most complaining, ha ha, she just really didn't want to do it. But we made it and it's always so satisfying to get to the Y! I tried to convince everyone to go to the top but they really didn't want to so we just went to the bottom of the Y.
We finally made Ava let us pull out her tooth earlier that morning. And by us I mean Brandon. Man, that thing needed to come out. I took the kids to the dentist the day after Halloween and turns out she needs to get the tooth next to it pulled out because her permanent top tooth is coming in crooked now, probably because we let her keep that baby tooth in for so long.
The kids wanted to touch the actual Y. You're not allowed to climb on it anymore. I thought it was so fun that we could see 5 temples from that spot. Timpanogos, Lindon (under construction), Orem (open house going on now), Provo, and Provo City Center. We are so blessed to live where we live. I can't imagine anywhere better!
Ava wanted breakfast burritos for getting her tooth out, so we grabbed some of those, and also got food from Taco Bell. Such a fun start to our Saturday!
When we were up at the Y we were remembering driving up to Sqaw Peak and so we decided to do it the next day on Sunday for the sunset. It was freezing up there! And there were no clouds so it wasn't an extra amazing sunset but it was so fun to get out and do some adventurous things!
When it was time to go home our car wouldn't start. The van had had a few times where it didn't start right away, so maybe our battery is going bad? But anyway, we had opened the door quite a few times escaping the cold while we were waiting for the sunset, and I guess that was too much for the battery and it died. We had a really hard time jumping it because the battery is in such a dumb place but some guy came along and totally helped us and we were able to jump it and drive home. Phew! What an adventure!
