Utah weekend.

Well, it is back to school for Sara today. So this being the last totally free weekend we took the opportunity to take my Dad his mtn. bike and do some ice climbing. Perfect weather for climbing ice. Not super cold but cold enough to keep the ice climbable. It was a great weekend! We climbed a long climb in Provo canyon, "Stairway to Heaven" one day then a climb up Little Cottonwood canyon,"Great white icicle" the next day. On Sat. we took the snowshoes and hiked up Mt. Timpanogos, outside of Provo. It was a great hike with the snow being very solid for this late in winter. The ice we hiked up to climb was mostly burried in snow but took the opportunity to get some practice walking on steep snow. We went to a climbing gym with Kirsten and her kids on Fri. and had a good visit with Shaunalei and Michelle on Sat. Dinner with Mom and Don on Thurs. night was a real treat as well. It was great to spend time with everyone. All in all a fun visit and Sara got to meet Shaunalei and Michelle for the first time. She can finally put faces with names. Now it is back to school and studies for Sara with a suporting roll from me. Racing season is just around the corner so Spring can't get here quick enough.
