A hike to the "M" topped off with a little Steph's

Ammon had this Friday off and we took advantage of the cooler weather to hike to the "M" in Morgan, Utah. I have a soft place in my heart for Morgan. Not only did it provide us with a set of fun neighbors in Pullman, but it is also home of my first dream job teaching 6th grade at the middle school. Ammon and I first attempted the steep climb to the "M" when we lived there right after we were married. It was a little warmer than usual and we were not in shape. Needless to say, we made it maybe halfway and turned around. So, when I suggested the hike as today's events, Ammon was a little unsure - especially since one of us would be carrying an extra 20 lbs on our back (Kent plus the weight of the pack). But, I wanted to do the hike before it got too warm, and I figured that even if we didn't make it we would still get to treat ourselves to a Tangee at Steph's after. To make a long story short: we made it to the top, the view was beautiful, we barely made it to the car before it started raining, and Kent had his first taste of Steph's. Enjoy the pictures of our day.

Us at the top with the view, that pole to our right had some shirts and underwear attached to it. I am sure it is some kind of tradition.

Now that you are back in Utah, we need to get together for lunch or something. Glad you made it to the top. We love that hike. You should drive up the canyon the night of the 28th (Graduation) the "M" will be all lit up. I bet you saw it the year you taught here.

Looks like you guys are getting all settled in Utah. How fun. We just got moved ourselves and can't wait to find the fun things to take advantage of while we're here.

Well, we miss you and are also jealous that you got to go to Steph's! Glad you're having fun though! Say hi to the Morgan Weitzeil's next time you see them!
