The never ending hike

One evening we decided to hike Liberty Cap from the top of the monument, Jon had read about this new cool way that we could hike this trail which was to be around a 5 mile hike. We got a late start to our hike but it was a beautiful evening, we started the hike full of energy! After we had been hiking for quite some time, I started to wonder if we were ever going to make it to our destination as it seemed like we had hiked much further then 2.5 miles. However Cookie was being good and we continued forward, made it to the destination just in time for Cookie to have a blow out.. of course right! Then on the hike back it got dark and cold and it was taking forever.. and we had one tired baby on our hands. The hike was really fun but just needed to end about 1 hour earlier!! Needless to say we got home to do a little more research and found that the 5 miles we thought we hiked was actually 9.. at least we got a good work out right!
