Kahlan, Juniper and Paul sang 'Be What I Believe' together while Sarah played the piano. We had donuts at the church afterwards for our group. The kids did an amazing job singing. Even Paul sang most of the words.
Saran and I enjoyed another fun bike ride up City Creek Canyon after the baptism. We saw a couple of wild turkeys while up there.
On Thursday this week Sarah and I also decided to tackle Mount Timpanogos again. It had been 6 years and 3 kids since we'd last done it. We had really nice weather and hardly anyone on the mountain. This time we took some hiking poles.
I'd never seen any moose on any of my previous hikes there but this time we had 3 moose encounters! The first was a big bull moose sitting on the trail under a tree. We came around the bend and almost walked right into it. It had no interest in moving so we waited a while from a distance, then climbed up into the bush above the trail and bushwhacked it for a distance until we were clear. Then we saw maybe the same moose on the way down but this time it was a few feet off the trail eating so we scooted past it. The third was another bull even further on the way down and it was in the middle of the trail. It started walking up the trail towards us so we backed up off the trail into a small tree and held still as it walked past us. It didn't seem too interested in us, just gave us a grunt as it went by. It was giant! It was a tough hike and took us 11 hours in total but totally a fun adventure.
