Jackie and the Mountain

I don't know why this popped in my head...I remember telling Mom and Amy that I would post this pic online and for some reason I just remembered now.

I hope I recall this story correctly, if not maybe Frank can, but I'll give it a go.

Mom and Jackie came to visit us on Easter a few years ago, before Emma was ever thought up. It was a beautiful weekend and one of us came up with the idea to hike up Ensign Peak. It's a short, maybe 20-30 minute hike, not a difficult trail, but it is uphill. Right away Jackie wasn't happy. She wanted to stop immediately. I don't think it was too hard on her, I just think she was in a mood. So she kept stopping, kept refusing to move, kept arguing with mom, kept begging to be left behind.

This made the hike much longer than need be.

So, we finally coax her up the hill, the view is so beautiful, here is a pic of Frank on that hike with the view behind him:

You can see the entire Salt Lake Valley...it's just really pretty and so worth the "work" of the hike. And Jackie flat out refused to look! I warned her that if she didn't look I'd take her picture...a picture of her laying there on the ground pouting...She showed us!

We did have fun that day though despite the Jackie antics...there has to be a way to tie those two words together...Jackantics...Jantics...I'll work on it.

But, I do love Jackie...no one makes a memory like Jackie!
