Crow Mountain Hike

Every year the Mendenhall family gets together for a hike up crow mt. The Mendenhalls are my Grandpa Sparks mothers family. As a kid I never got to go, I was always in California with my dad. This year I was here in Utah and my Grandma and Grandpa told me about it and I really wanted to go. We told Jase about it and told him he was going to get to hike up a mountain, he was very excited. That morning he didn't want to get out of bed. Daddy was trying to wake him up and he kept saying no until daddy reminded him we were going hiking. He jumped out of bed and said, "we go hike up mountain with grandma and grandpa". He was up and ready right after that. We were the only ones in my grandparents family that were planning to go so we drove up with them. Crow Mountain in up past Logan and Smithfield almost to Idaho. We met my grandpas extended family (his aunt is still alive she's 97) and lots of his cousins. There were cows Jase and another little boy were chasing around and trying to pet. We sat on some hay bales and a tractor pulled us up part of the way to the base of the mountain. From there we hiked around 1 mile up the mountain to the beautiful site of Cache Valley. Jase did so good he hiked all by himself (when I say that I mean we didn't have to carry him at all). Daddy carried Zoe up and I carried her down. We had a lot of fun. After the hike my grandparents took us around Cache Valley. We went into Idaho to Dayton (I think) and were going to look at a graveyard that some of my grandpas family is buried at. But it started raining and we had to hike to it. Theirs no road to goes to this graveyard its so small. They also took us to Pepperidge Farm and we got a ton of Goldfish for cheap. We than went to an ice cream store but I can't remember what its called. After that we went into Clarkston and looked around. Clarkston is where my grandparents grew up and its still sooo small. I love it there. Well I made some scrapbook pages for the trip and wanted to share them. Hope you like them.
