We hit the trail again. This time we went end to end. It took 7 hours to make it to Sardine Canyon. It was 11.4 miles. We had to forge snow in several spots. The view were amazing. I am so glad that we made it the whole way through and the weather was perfect!

On the home front, JT has passed the written and driving part of his getting your license steps. We only need to go back in and pay more money and actually pick up the drivers license. He has basketball tryouts and girls choice dance next week. His competitive basketball team won the championship this week. He played awesome.
