Hiking the "Y"

My friend Annie Leavitt visited me this week. Annie suggested we do something she has always wanted to do, which was to hike the "Y". Now, I graduated from BYU AND have taught at BYU for six years, and never hiked the "Y". So I said yes! Annie, her two children, Ruth, Sam, and I, and my niece, Andrea hiked the sharply ascending switch-back trail up the mountain close to the BYU campus. I THOUGHT I WOULD THROW UP AND/OR DIE ALL THE WAY UP!! However, Annie was very patient and waited frequently with me while I caught my breath and my heart stopped pounding as hard. We finally made it! Here is the picture to prove it:
