Labor Day in my family is usually pretty busy. Well this year things were done last minute. We will try to go on a family trip. Well this year it was just not happening. My brother and sister-in-law were going out of town and my little sister cannot really go too far due to the complications with her pregnancy. So Jennifer invited us to hike table rock with her brother-in-law. Well last minute my brother and sister-in-law were staying in town and wanted to do something and Matt’s grandma decided to have dinner over the weekend. So the crazy weekend began.
Table rock is not the hike that is in Boise, it is much harder. Table rock is by Targee ski resort and when you get to the top you can see the Tetons. An amazing view, not so much fun as a hike. It is 7 miles up and starts out with some nasty switch backs with some nasty inclines! Well every time I hike I have to think about my breathing. Well this time we were going too high too fast and I could not concentrate on my breathing and I could not breath. I had to stop Matt and make him wait with me. Well Jennifer tells me that I probably have asthma and I should go to the DR. I struggled all the way up. Well we hit a point when Matt got sick. Apparently he get high elevation sickness. He was dizzy and very sick so we did not get all the way to the top. About ¾ mile away from the top we had to go back, however, when we got down we both said we would do it again, just prepare a little better. The views were amazing though. I can’t wait
until next year to make it to the top.
Sunday we went to Matt’s grandma’s house for dinner. Which was the relaxing part of the weekend and I was so tired that I am glad that we had that day.
Monday we went to West Yellowstone with my little brothers and older sister. That is always an adventure! First we went to Mesa Falls, it was early and pretty. On the way to West Yellowstone we stopped at some little gas station. My little 12 year old niece gets back in the car with a lazar pointer with different images. So I look at the box to see the images. One just happens to be a woman in a sexy looking pose. Kind of like the playboy pose look. Well I bust out laughing and pass the box around. Before we know it we are all laughing hysterically about it and my sister (her mom) is asking my brother-in-law did you look at this before you bought it? Looking back and telling the story it is really not that funny, but we laughed so hard about it.
We got to West Yellowstone and watched bears at the Imax, went to dinner, and then went to the shops. It was a lot of fun.
It was really hard to leave IF and go to Burley. I really miss being in IF. The weekend was a lot of fun and even though I miss I IF I am glad to be back in Burley to sleep in my own bed. I am tired and my muscles hurt! 14 mile hike, who really does that for fun?
