(this card is meant to be used with a vertical photo)



its celebration time!
Sam, Brit, Addie and I had our weight loss contest. everyone did amazing! and between the 4 of us... 80 lbs were lost! oh yeah baby!

ok maybe I did loose the least amount of weight... but some is better than none right?
sam on the other hand is amazing.

in accordance with our bet, we celebrated our victory over obesity in VEGAS! :)
but our first stop was a dream destination for sam..
ANGELS LANDING... ZIONS NATIONAL PARK.

it was pretty amazing. and scary. and amazing.

these two are just a few of the drive into the park. we bought a national park pass this spring when we drove up the coast. it has been so worth having. if you go to a lot of parks get one! so great!
here are sam addie and brit getting ready for the big hike.
so hott right now. we are hansens of course.
the large cliff above us is where we are headed!

along the beaten path.
ook so funny. the hole brit is in... he tried to crawl through... he pretended like he was being birthed... who really knows, but i dont think i have laughed so hard in quite sometime!

oh man. funny. some hikers walked by right as he was hanging over like this. hilarious.

the leaves were beautiful. it looked like fall had just begun!
getting to the look out point before we hiked the summit.
angels landing is above addie and brit
ok maybe not so funny because supposedly a week before we came a girl did fall off.
ok again not so funny! actually quite freaky that brit was leaning over the edge so far!
its amazing all that is in between you and a 1000 ft cliff is a little chain to hold on to.
this is a little itty bitty place that you have to walk over. i wont lie i was the most freaked out at this point. on either side of you is a 1000 ft drop and again there is only a small chain to CLING to! those of you that have been on this hike can probably guess where im talking about.
he was in heaven! he seriously loved this hike! he loves the outdoors and everything in them and was like a kid at christmas! i think he would have hiked this with a broken foot if he had to!
we are getting closer to the top.... are you getting sick of my commentary yet?
addster and britton!
here we are at the very top! and sam just wasnt quite high enough he had to climb even higher. i couldnt even watch this because i was freaking out just a little inside. we were really high!

success. and we didnt even fall off.
it started to rain while we were up there so the hike down was a little more intense. the rock was slick and so was the chain. but we all ended up alive so its all good.

(have you been noticing our matching outfits? no it wasnt planned we are just awesome like that)

we had to celebrate with a little in n out and nielsens frozen custard. a perfect end to a perfect hike.



we ended the night at the korean bath house.
i will save you the embarrassment of pictures. ok ok no pictures were ever taken... thank heavens. but it was an insanely fun day! addie and brit are the best people to travel with. so much fun.
i will post the remaining activities in days to come. for now, just enjoy a few angels!
