We did it!

We accomplished my summer goal today...to hike a 14,000 ft mountain!  It was a tiring hike, but totally worth it once you get to the top!  We took Howie with us, he made it the whole way.  It was funny how many comments we got, "Is he going to make to the top."  He seemed to be the talk of the mountain.  On our way down, we met up with some people who said they heard about the little dog that hiked all the way to the top from someone.  Kinda funny!
The water is so clear!
We made it!  The bag we are holding is from a sub shop by our house.  If you take a picture of yourself holding one of their bags at the top of a 14er that you hiked, you get a free sub!
The crowd of people at the top
Not a great picture...but the only picture I have of the 3 of us
It is amazing at the top!  You can see for miles in all directions.  Pictures don't so justice.
Now I want to hike another one!
