Labor Day pains

When I titled this entry, I was thinking of the burning in my thighs. Brooke came to Spanish Fork for the Labor Day weekend since Whit was fishing with friends. We were glad for the company and decided to do some hiking that we had been wanting to do all summer. The weather was so great and the colors are just starting to change. We hiked to Silver Lake above Tibble Reservoir on Saturday. We were shocked to find little water in the reservoir and in the lake above it.
On Sunday, we were amused by Kim showing us how to twirl earphones.
On Monday, we got up early and went to Slate Canyon in Springville. We hiked what seemed like a very steep incline for a very long time. We saw no hikers until we were descending down to the Y in Provo Canyon. Then we saw lots of families, BYU students and just plain ole people hiking up to the Y. We were glad to be going down as it had warmed up. Then we cleaned up and did more honey extraction from the bees. It was a great way to celebrate Labor Day.
