Hiking

One of the reasons that we love living in Utah is the hiking. I am a hiking enthusiast, and luckily Rachelle is willing to do it. We have kind of eased the kids into it to see how they would do, and it has gone surprisingly well! After a few strolls down the walkway at Bridal Veil Falls we decided to step it up to Rock Canyon. Addie is really clutsy so she came home with a lot of bruises from all the spills she took, but we had a good time. This past Friday we stepped it up to Little Cottonwood Canyon. We drove up to Alta and hiked the Catherine Pass up to Lake Catherine. It was 1.5 miles both ways and Addie hiked about half of it, spending the other half on my shoulders. The way up was pretty steep, and I was impressed with ourselves for pulling it off with the kids. Now that we know the kids like it we will be doing a lot more hiking from now on!

Too Pretty!

True to her fearless nature Addie immediately wanted to climb up the falls

Carter wanted in on the action too

Addie wasn't super enthusiastic when we started up the Catherine Pass

Little Cottonwood Canyon is beautiful, so are my girls!

We made it to the top!

Addie and Carter had fun feeding crackers to the chipmunks

Lake Catherine is worth the long hike up

By the time we started back down Addie was having a blast, we had a hard time keeping her in sight!

Carter is an awesome little hiker, he wanted no part of staying in the baby backpack!
