Forty-First Step

More hiking for this step, but at 9-10,000 feet. Karin and Mike are SURROUNDED by amazing mountains.

We saw the campus where Karin is a professor and Mokey has his office, then went to Bear Lake,



ate Garden City's famous raspberry shakes,



and hiked a bit in the snow around another lake (Happy Anniversary, K&M!).



There's nothing like snow in your socks in May! I don't have much breathing room anyway (8 weeks until baby!), but I was really having trouble not feeling like I was taking my dying breath (not literally). I can't wait to go back after my belly is empty of baby. But because of my supersonic pregnancy schnozola, the mountains smelled AMAZING.
