Memorial Day Weekend

We started this weekend by leaving work a little early on Friday and heading up Providence Canyon. We weren't able to go all of the way through the canyon because the road on the other side was still closed due to snow. Luckily for us Justin had researched it out before we went up there so that we didn't go all that way and have to turn around and head back. Justin will post a video later with pictures of our drive.

On Saturday we went on a hike with my dad (my mom was in Phoenix for a wedding) and their dog, Hollie. We walked up the Wellsville mountains (the Mendon mountains if you live in Mendon) to a lake called Cold Water Lake. It wasn't really a lake, but Hollie enjoyed it all the same. The view from up there was amazing. Everything was extremely green. It wasn't a hard hike, but still a lot of fun.Hollie and Dad also enjoyed themselves on the hike.
Hollie had to be in the lead almost the entire time. The only time she would slow down is when I stopped to take pictures and she had to make sure that I was still coming.
On Monday my sister came up from Salt Lake and we went on the same hike again. This time it was a little more adventurous. We took two vehicles to get to the trailhead so we would all fit, Justin's truck and my mom's Yukon. Dad was driving the Yukon and we'll just say he needs a little more practice in the mud.
Luckily Justin was there to pull him out. The weather on Monday wasn't as nice as Saturday. We got rained on a little bit when we were pulling the Yukon out of the ditch (which the picture doesn't show justice to where he was stuck) and we also got rain a few times on the trail.We were able to get some good family pictures (we are missing Matthew and Lisa though because they are in Tennessee and didn't think a family hike was worth coming to visit for).This is my mom and dad. Kind of looks like an engagement picture.
This is Cammie, Dan, and Nathan (Nathan is the little, cute guy).This is Justin and me. Justin is the cute red-headed one.
This is Jillian and Brady (the happy soon to be married couple)

We had a lot of fun. Cammie had brought her dog, Aspen. Hollie and Aspen both had fun playing in the water this time.The rain actually made it nice because it made the view even more clear.
