Summer hike #4: Tablerock

This is what we were working up to all summer: Tablerock (Table Mountain, if you're not a local) on Friday, August 17. It was Rebekah and Analee's first time. We went up The Face and down Huckleberry, about 11ish miles. Grandma Scott got a nasty case of altitude sickness, so we took it slow and easy. The weather was perfect. I vowed to myself not to wait another 9 years before hiking it again.

 Seth (taking selfies) and the girls on the top. We waited for Grandma and Grandpa to make it the rest of the way.

We made Analee take a bajillion pictures of us as we attempted to recreate this moment from 1999. It was Seth's first time hiking Tablerock. We didn't have the picture with us (nor did we think to look at it closely before hiking), so we did the best we could.
