Up the hill we will go!

Last year on New Year's Eve we made the hike up the hill we enjoy a view of all year long and it was a great day to do it again!  We started off with light sweatshirts on and those made it about two minutes.  Much warmer than last year, and unfortunately, much drier.  It took 30 minutes to go up and 30 minutes to come down (with a lot of sliding again this year).  

 And Rufus joined us this year.

 Mason hasn't been very willing to take a photo lately but he liked being able to see himself when I took this one with my phone.  Great smiles!

And here are a couple of panoramic views:

Rufus couldn't figure out why we were just hanging out at the top.

 The kids enjoyed the rocks.

 And pointed out Bishops Peak.  :-)

 And a glimpse of the damage done on the way down from sliding on the slippery trail.

 Olivier took the lead which was a bit of a surprise, especially with how many spills he took.
