UTAH TRIP - Hiking Adventure

While in Utah we were determined to enjoy the mountains and weather as much as possible! We took the girls on a fun hike and they loved it!! Lily and Mia even ran most of the way up (possible future trail runners?!). We walked through "the jungle" as Lily called it, and crossed over the river with ropes, on logs and little bridges. It was a great adventure, and something we can't do while living in Texas. It was a family adventure we will always remember, and the girls are still talking about.

 

The mountain hiking divas!!

 

 

Both girls loved the cold river water. We kept stopping to skip rocks or splash cold water on our faces. So fun!!

 

The girls and I did attempt this hike a second time with my sister and some of her kids -- that hike was not as fond of a memory. We ended up with several bloody knees and arms from falling on rocks and lots of tears. We'll have to try it again next year. :)

We also spent an evening in the mountains having a campfire and making Mia's favorite treat - s'mores! It was fun to get dressed in sweatshirts and jeans and enjoy the warmth of the campfire. In Texas we have had several s'more nights with our neighbors, but standing over a portable fire pit and sweating to death doesn't make the s'mores taste near as good. Utah s'mores are the best!!
