Hello
to all you good people! This past week just flew by! i
finally got my FPGA design closed and it's all ready to go! So
that's very exciting. Just one more to go and then it's on to
hardware testing!
On
Friday night we had some friends in the ward over for dinner and
games. It was a lot of fun! Around 9:45 they confessed it
was 15 minutes past their bedtime and they probably needed to head
home cause they were getting really tired! Little did they know
it was also 15 minutes past ours! So that worked out perfectly. It
was also nice because I had to wake up early on Saturday because we
took the young men in the ward to the Manitou Incline. It's a
pretty intense hike.
Basically
you hike straight up the side of a mountain. They've put in a
whole bunch of wooden beams to prevent erosion and to give you steps
to climb up on. Here's what it looks like down the mountain
from part of the way up.
And
here is a picture at the top!
And
I also grabbed a photo sphere. I'm hoping if you click on it
it'll open up to provide the real effect.
We
hiked down the back way which is a lot less steep. The hike up
is just about a mile, but the hike down was 3. In spite of the
difference in length it took about as long to get up as it did to get
back down.
On
the way down there were some nice views from the trail.
It
was a lot of fun and everybody made it back safely. That night
we went to a dinner group. The ward organizes them about once a
year and families sign up and then get put in groups for dinner. It
was a lot of fun to get out with some other families in the ward.
It
of course wouldn't be a week without a picture of Brooke. We
went to Target this past week and she insisted on trying on
sunglasses... sigh.
They're
still a little too big for her head, so she didn't insist on buying
them.
Well,
I think that's all I've got for this week. Hope everyone is
doing fantastic!
