In the middle of July, our fun friends the Dickman's asked us if we wanted to go hiking with them, so of course we said YES! We went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to Silver Lake and went on a nice hike up there. Between the two families we had three kids in backpack carriers, one baby in a front pack carrier and one four year old walking/whining! It was quite a sight!
Jaxon was whining that he didn't want to walk anymore, mind you this happened for the first time like 15 minutes into the hike...so after a while Jason, who was carrying Brynn in the backpack carrier, put Jaxon on his shoulders and carried him up the trail also. I tried to take a picture of it, but Jason didn't really want to stop, so this was the best I got, you can't ever tell he has Brynn on his back too!
Isn't it beautiful! We were almost there...but stopped to take a water break!
Going back down...it was a lot easier coming down then going up...crazy how that works!
When we finally got to the lake at the top of the trail, the kids decided it would be fun to feed the squirrels. They thought it was pretty cool to watch them and I think if the squirrels would have let the kids pet them, they would have!
This was the beautiful lake that was awaiting us after our long journey! It was well worth the hike!
