Photos from James & Little Bandito Update - May 27, 2011
We are having an interesting summer.
James is in Alaska mending fishing nets for his summer job (he learned some new skills this summer) and I am still in Utah, holding down a job with health insurance benefits (slightly important for a certain September event!).
Thank goodness we can talk and text every day and occasionally email. Today I got some pictures in my email. Look how gorgeous the weather has been!

May 14, 2011 - Childs Glacier at the "end of the road"
May 25, 2011 - Eyak River - fishing with Cory Hollinger. They both got skunked!
2 weeks from today, I fly to Boise. 2 weeks from tomorrow, I will be in Cordova with my sweetheart. Yes, I am counting down the days!
P.S. I had my 24 week appointment today. I got to hear Lincoln's heartbeat (James thinks it sounds like a little steam engine) and it is still strong and regular. He's growing right on target and everything seems to be boringly, perfectly normal - Hooray! My next appt is at the end of June at 29 weeks.

Ensign Peak and Sessons Mtn Trail - May 26-27, 2011
May 26, 2011 - Had lots of energy and lots of light on a Thursday afternoon, so I found a short low-elevation hike. All the hiking in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons are still snowed under, so low-elevation is the only choice. I'd never hiked Ensign Peak before, so that is where I went. The trailhead is close behind the state capital and there is a beautiful park with lots of historical markers.
It is a quick hike, less than an hour round-trip. Unfortunately some grafitti and lots of fences to keep people on the main trails. This is the view of downtown - it is so hard to imagine an 'empty' valley that had yet to be cultivated. And now it is completely filled with buildings and trees and streets.
The marker at the top of Ensign Peak. There used to be a flagpole, but vandals pulled it down, so it is now on the State Capital property. I need to explore that too!
May 27, 2011 - There has been pipeline construction in the area, and for the last few days this huge helicopter has been operating in the foothills above North Salt Lake.
I went for a quick hike on the Sessions Mountain Trail. The trailhead is near the Bountiful Temple and is going to be perfect for summer hikes. Right along a stream with lots of trees. And today, it includes a deer. I only got to hike for about 15 minutes along the trail before I came to a stream crossing that was too busy and too rushing to cross. Still a 30 minute, pretty wander was a great way to get in my exercise today.
