On Saturday morning we ventured out and over to Little Cottonwood Canyon to hike up to Cecret Lake. It was cold up there!! I realize that 60 degrees feels a lot different in September than in the early Spring but we all felt much better once we had our sweatshirts on and got moving along the trail. After the first 10 minutes of Bentley whining and complaining and then conceding to take millions of baby steps and merely shuffle along, I thought we would never make it all the way to the lake. But, we did and it was so beautiful. I haven't hiked up there since high school days with all my girlfriends. And it was a lot harder carrying a small toddler on my back :) FYI--that toddler fought being carried at all on the way back and it was pretty fun to see her trudge on 
ahead and take on the uneven terrain all by herself. She occasionally said "hand" so she could hold on and regain her balance but once she felt confident again, she shooed me away and marched on. Bentley ended up asking to be carried in the backpack on the way down and he enjoyed the comfy ride immensely--who wouldn't?Bentley the modern dancer??

That is so cute Cares wanted to hike it herself! She is such an adventurer. What a fun family activity. Beans is a hilarious "modern dancer"
Bentley pulls off the cutest faces and poses! The picture of Cares walking along the trail is so sweet...she is so grown-up! My favorite picture is the first one of you with Cares on your shoulders!
Fun activity! We need to join you on these hikes...except that we have soccer games until November. Bummer.
We'll join you for a hike! But we need to go see some soccer games, too! Fun pictures of your darling kids. Caroline is very adventuresome and sturdy for such a tiny girl, and Bean is so funny!
