Isn't Life Grand?

Who: The Kay Men + 3 boys who hiked like men

What: Second annual hike to Table Rock (the Grand Tetons)

When: Last weekend

Where: Trailhead in Driggs....7 a.m.

Why: Male bonding at it's best



I couldn't believe it when the boys said they wanted to hike with Justin. It's strenuous at best for the grown-ups, let alone two boys. Justin said they did awesome though. I guess so because they made it all the way to the top! The summit is 11,000 ft. To put this into perspective for you...when I went skydiving, we jumped from the plane at 12,000 feet. So, these boys did some serious vertical climbing. Those of you who are familiar with the hike will understand the significance of what they accomplished. Way to go fellas!
Jamon took a bit of a spill (literally fell and started rolling/sliding down the mountain). Luckily he escaped with just a raspberry down his left side. It could've been way worse judging from each account of the story I heard. I'm grateful that he was surrounded by such capable men. If something more serious were to have happened to him, he'd have four of the most worthy priesthood holders I know up there with him. Needless to say, he was definitely being watched over!



It was definitely an experience they'll always remember!
