The City and the Country

We've experienced the best of the city and the country over the last couple of days.  Our major hike of the trip started at the top of Guardsmen's Pass. We parked the car, lathered on the sunscreen, and began an uphill scramble over a rocky ridge. Within 5 minutes, I was winded and took a break to catch my breath. One of many. 

The view of the lakes was worth the discomfort.  The boys agreed.  There was supposed to be a gentler, looped trail to one of the lakes that would eventually bring us back to the car.  Gentler was a relative term. After only 3 hours of hiking, I was having the dry heaves. We found the lake right before we ran out of water.  Whew.

Chris and I felt we all deserved a nice dinner out to celebrate the great day hiking. Two of us showered and we headed to Main Street. The kids went for chicken wings at DaVonza's and the adults headed across the street to High West, where we toasted to a beautiful day. The evening was cool and after dinner, we joined locals' night at the Kimball Art Festival.

The next morning we slept in a bit and headed into the city for our favorite outdoor store. Wing Nutz for lunch did not disappoint and we filled up the afternoon with a visit to the Leonardo. We were pleasantly surprised to meet a Lego Master Builder along with the fun flight and sound exhibits. Kyle even got a virtual haircut.
