Running the Steam Engine and Hiking the Y...

So we went to the incredibly large town of Mona, UT. We were the highlight of the town (that tells you how big it is) with Derrick's steam engine. Ryan, our friend from Derrick's work, helped Derrick get it all tuned up and running really great!!!

Ryan and Thaya on ryan's redneck swing! The kids loved it!

Thaya in Ryan's Hat, she thinks she is hilarious!

Derrick riding a crazy bike that Ryan built for Burning Man.

look how short it makes Derrick!


We also hiked to the Y above BYU with our neightbors, the Weakly's. We had 5 kids all together, Thaya (3), Andrew (4), Laura (2) and Hilary and Heather (5 month old twins)! We had a lot of fun and would do it again in a heart beat! Thaya had so much fun racing us all to the top! I can't believe what a big girl she is!!!

Thaya and Laura couldn't wait to go!

The Whole group ready to go! I ran in just in time for the timer to go off!!

Thaya loves Dora the Explorer and has to wear a backpack with a map in it!

AAAWWW how fun!

We made it!!

the kids loved the view!

Thaya had Derrick carry her princess from Aunt Emmy!

In all my years at the Y, I never hiked the Y hike. For shame. It's still on my bucket list tho.

And, BTW, that bike Derrick is riding is the coolest bike I have ever seen.

Yay for burning man (the bike included) and for Thaya liking the doll we gave her! :)

Let's hike to the Y on the Fourth next year - we did it a few years back and the view is great!
