Today Ron accomplished another first. He hiked to the top of Mount Timpanogos, a 7.5 mile hike one way, and gaining over 4,000 feet in altitude. Sadly I did not get to go, but my goal is to be able to by the time the children are old enough. This is destined to be the summer of hiking, we also would like to get to the Y and stewart falls by the time school starts with the kids. 
Apparently the flora and fauna was truly spectacular, with all the mountain wildflowers in bloom, and several waterfalls along the trail. They left at 3:30 am, (i was still snoring blissfully) and returned after lunch today. The only injuries were a slight scraped elbow, when Ron skidded on a snowpack, and sore feet.(never wear new hiking boots!)
The kids and I entertained ourselves at home with yet another corner lemonade stand. R. would like to find a go cart, and mean parents that we are, we told him he would have to earn some of the money himself. He raised an impressive $14 today, with a little help from his sisters, and business capital donated by his mother.
