Cecret Lake...Almost

A couple of weeks ago we decided it would be fun to hike up to Cecret Lake in Little Cottonwood Canyon. We made it about half way to the lake when we decided that due to inclement weather, we should probably turn back. Oh well, we will try again some other time.


We did get to see some amazing wild flowers.

Matt was unimpressed with the whole thing, preferring to sleep all the way through.

We finished the evening off with a picnic in the back of the car. Nothing like a strenuous ride on dad's back to work up your appetite.

Okay I'm still in shock...I canNOT believe I finally found you guys! I guess you had a severely outdated email address of mine, because I was about to end the thing (too much spam, never checked it) and I saw your blog link you sent out, oh, about 10 years ago (or something of the sort). YOU HAVE 2 KIDS! Where have I been?????
PS We are coming to Utah on Friday....I guess you live there now???

Oh and in case you didn't guess, its me, your long lost pal Monica.

Emily said...

Going on a hike eh? You really are wonder woman Kristl! So how old is Matt now?
Nick, me, and the boys still want to come out and visit you guys but only if you think you can handle 4 Jacobs men! We could always leave the kids with Grandma if it's too much. I will call you! :)

Monica! I am so glad to hear from you. I hope you check this again...if you do, let me know how to get in touch with you. You can email me at kristlnelson@yahoo.com
And, if you are in Utah and have a minute, we would love to see you.

Emily- Yes! Let's get together soon.

Kristl-we would LOVE to see you guys in Utah. Come to think of it, we should have a reunion and invite the Jacobs' crew! I've been itching to hear the Glomer voice.
I will email you soon.
Do you have facebook?

I love Abby's smile. Forget Cecret Lake, it seems like enough of an adventure to get two young kids out on a hiking trip.

N and I will have to check out Cecret Lake. By the way Rich thanks for offering your suggestion on the t-shirt in the moment of our most dire need. You'll see we took your advice fairly closely. B

That is beautiful! The background of pic #1 is breathtaking...I miss Utah.

Cecret Lake is great! Quite the ambitious outing with 2 young ones. We went a couple of years ago and I think the only picture we have of us at the top is one Layne took with me and the kids - while I was nursing Rachel!! Nice family memory! Yikes!
Let's do a hike together sometime. I don't think we've ever done anything with your family before. (I promise I will NOT nurse any children while we're together - although, Matt is welcome to eat (drink) whenever/wherever/whatever he would like.)
