Lazy Friday and Hiking Catherine's Pass



Friday is becoming my lazy blog day. Sorry! It is my day off from work and I usually have errands, cleaning, laundry, cooking/baking, working out, etc. to do.

Today I am having fun though. I am going to see Julie & Julia with a group of Utah food bloggers. I can't wait to see this movie. I have heard good things! Kalyn, of Kalyn's Kitchen, is having all of the food bloggers over to her house after the movie to share our thoughts and of course munch on tasty food. I am making a peach almond cake to take to the big party! It should be a great day!

I am sharing some photos from one of our recent hikes. When Josh's mom was in town we hiked Catherine's Pass, right above Alta. It was a gorgeous day! The wildflowers were in full bloom and the scenery was breathtaking! This is one of my favorite hikes.

Is anyone else seeing Julie & Julia this weekend?

  17. Beautiful photos. I think on a nice summer day I'd rather be out there than in the kitchen. My own Fridays are pretty lazy in the kitchen anyway.

    Go out to movies? What a concept. I wish I had time for that. I think I'll just stick J&J in my Netflix queue and see it when it's released on DVD. Although I've heard some mixed reviews about the movie, so I'm not sure how eager I am to see it.
