Our hike up a mountain

Most every year, my brother and cousin head up a big adventure. My Grandpa brought his horses to Pine Valley Mountain in St. George, Utah area, each summer. He carved his name in a tree back in 1923, my brother and cousin found the tree, to honor my awesome Grandpa, 52 of us Fullers hiked that mountain this past weekend. Totally awesome experience. I brought Tanner Boy. Brycen stayed home with Nathan and Corbs and Savannah stayed at Grandma Thomsen's.



















This is Tanner hiking about 1/2 way to 3/4 of the way up. It was a beast. Tanner had to rethink things through and made the decision to keep on digging. I was very proud of him. 8 miles and 8miles back down, in one day!















Tanner made it! This is Whipple Valley, totally green and beautiful! The last time I did this hike, we camped, but this year there was too many of us and too much gear so we muscled it out in one day.















We got poured on! I am so glad I packed the ponchos, they really came in handy. We also got hailed on. But, it was so neat to be there.




















Here is the tree, "SF" at the top, then it says Stanley Fuller (hard to read in this picture) and the year, 1922. As well, as LM, for Laurence McMullin, the son of Bro. Keith McMullin of the Presiding Bishopric. Awesome! (nope I am not pregnant, just a little soft and standing real sweet).













Tanner adding his name to the "Fuller Grove". Pretty cool. He signed his name "Tanner Fuller", pretty cute.















All 6 boys of my Grandparents' kids. It was a pretty big undertaking to get them all up there. They sang a song in Grandma's behalf. I grew up with these wonderful men, very special people in my life!















52 of my Grandpa and Grandma's posterity up by the tree in Pine Valley Mountain. Awesome!
