We got really brave and decided to take the kids on a hike. Logan loves to hike, but all we've really ever done (and called "hiking") is take him on the bike path up the canyon and wander off on some short trails off the path. This was different. This was a full-fledged hike - 2 miles in each direction. We borrowed a kid-riding backpack from a neighbor and set off. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day or a more perfect time of year. The colors were absolutely stunning. My pictures don't really capture the beauty...at all.
This girl loved being out and getting dirty. She was FIL-THY! She has learned how to say "cheese," and this is her cheesy smile.
Hiking...early on.
Breathtaking views.
Hiking...a little later. Yes, Garrick carried both of the kiddos for a while.
Logan was playing with Lexi (give me five, on the side, etc) while Garrick carried them.
Logan and Lexi LOVED exploring the water, rocks, and sticks.
A pretty classic Lexi look.
Stewart Falls.
These two could have spent all day sitting by the water and throwing rocks in.
On the way back. Garrick carried 40-lb Logan the entire way. Both kids fell asleep before we were finished.

Brave! You guys are awesome! We have one of those backpack thingies and have never really used it hiking. We took it with us to TN recently, but never ended up using it. You're inspiring me!
Also, I just love the pictures of Lexi. She and Holland would be two peas in a pod, I tell you. I so wish we lived closer!
Sounds like Garrick had a good workout! Beautiful pics
