July 2014 Cecret Lake

One of our favorite hikes is the Cecret Lake hike up Little Cottonwood Canyon.  The wildflowers are so beautiful during the month of July.  We didn't get any good pictures of them but they were awesome!  The girls did great on our hike!  We were hiking for like 3 + hours because we had to take a longer route, I don't remember why, but they did great!  Jenna liked to climb like a mountain goat, and have piggy back rides, and Ivy LOVED riding in the hiking back pack.  G & G Hughes came with us and we all had a great time. Oh, and we saw a moose! :)

Happy Girls

We were swinging on the swings and playing dress-up and Princesses one day in July, and I captured some of my favorite pictures ever of my cute girls.  Totally in their element,  These sweet, joyful, full of fun moments make my Mommy heart so happy. :) I'm so glad my little camera phone captured this moment so well. :)

July 2014 - Palisades

We have done a lot this summer that we would like to do every summer, or at least every other summer.  One of which was camping at Palisades State Park.  We went over 4th of July weekend with our good friends, the Fowlers.  We went out on the canoe and paddle boat, fished, ate a lot, played at the campsite and on the beach, roasted marshmallows, and had a great time!  On the 4th of July Andrew and Jenna drove into Manti for a Daddy/Daughter date and watched the fireworks. :) Good times!
