Sunday Hike/Walk

This past Sunday (beginnig of October) Bob and I took the kids up to the mountains to go for a little hike.  We went to Brighton Ski Resort where during the summer there is a beautiful lake circled by a boardwalk.  The lake is called Silver Lake.  It is an easy hike especially for children, and we can take our stroller so we don't have to carry the kids.  The boys loved running on the boardwalk.  Zack made sure to stop at each sign so we could talk about what was on the picture and to read about each animal.  We saw ducks which made the boys very excited.  Zack was disappointed that he didn't see any fish but it was hard without polorized sunglasses (which Mommy and Daddy had).  We also saw a lot of squirrel's so that was fun too.  Gavin would yell Duck or Squirrel everytime he's see an animal.  It was fun to get out with the kids and enjoy the beautiful mountains.  Sometimes we take the beauty that is around us for granted.  We get so caught up with work, church calling, and everything else that we have packed into our week.  It was nice just doing something with the family.

And what's a post without pictures...

I took this picture!!  Beautiful Panarama of Silver Lake if I do say so myself!

PS... this post was actually written a week after our drive but because Blogger hates me and it was so hard to get pictures uploaded it's been sitting on the back burner for over a month.  I'll try harder to get more things posted

Oh and one last picture, as we were leaving Brighton I saw these trees and made Bob go around the loop again and stop so I could get a picture.  It was a perfect example of the changing colors.







Can you see all the different colors...Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.
