Labor Day

The kids had survived 1 whole week of school so we knew they needed a break to enjoy the outdoors. So we (along with everyone else in Utah) drove up the canyon and went on a hike! The hike wasn't too crowded...just the canyon. I can't remember the name of the hike we went on but it was pretty! Trav was really sick that day so I thought we'd cancel, but he plugged ahead and made it!


 I love that my kids are such good hikers.
 Even if we had to stop every 2 minutes to get rocks out of Kate's shoes.




 Will stopped every 2 minutes to get a snack out of his backpack. I think all his treats were gone within the first 15 minutes.




 I really love this picture with tiny Rach and these giant dead trees.

 We made it to the lake! There was a crowded side and a not crowded side. We opted for the not crowded side even though there was less shade.



 Jonah and I did find a patch of shade to sit in.


 And Trav finally got his pictures off his phone so here's some pictures of when we took Rach to the temple for the first time!
 The steeple still isn't on.




 And....yeah....I wish I could say this was a 1 time occurrence. But no...it happens all the time! At least he's comfortable when he takes everything out of the drawer.
 Trav took Will to the aquarium for their date last month and I really loved the pictures he got.

 He got to hold a bird.
 Brush some shark teeth.

 And the fist kissed his hands.
 Here's some pictures of the backpacking trip that Trav took Rach and Josh on. I think I already mentioned this in a previous post but now here's the pictures.









 Rach caught a huge one!



Looks fun!
