I have to admit that is one thing I like about Las Vegas...30-45 minutes from our front door to the mountains and some nice hiking.
It was so nice to get out of the heat and busyness of Vegas (109° at home /76° on the mtn.) . This hike is now my new favorite Mt. Charleston hike... a beautiful 6 mile loop. But every one we go on becomes my new favorite.
Of course, We did missed having any of the kids to hike with. Hiking with the boys, their wives and little Charlie are some of our best memories.

Saturday one of Elder Jake's favorite mission companions, Ryan Duke, came by to meet Mom & Dad Tobler. It was fun to hear mission stories that don't get written home about. He also wanted to see if all the Tobler legends that Jake had told him about were true. Most of them were....except the garden hose one!

Of course Jake had told him about the Tobler Ice cream smorgasbord complete with the infamous bottle of "jimmies". So of course we had to indulge.
Who knew those rainbow colored candy sprinkles were call "jimmies" until I found a bottle of them at the "day-old bakery" in Pasco years ago. Somehow that same old bottle would magically refill. They were Clark's friend, Joel's favorite item on the Ice cream smorgasbord and they then became another part of the Tobler legends.
