Hype:

We played Pinochle in the morning. Then everyone got ready and we went to Box Canyon, where we did all the hikes and trails. I was very impressed that Dad was enthusiastic about doing the hikes. A year ago before he lost all the weight that he has lost, he would not have been nearly as interested.
