And this is why we live here...

It is January...and this is why we live here... (not really but it definitely makes life good in a lot of ways)-warm weather and good hikes within minutes of our house....

A few weeks ago we did a fun hike with my brother who was in town. Half way through that hike we saw that there was a second hike that branched off further. This weekend we went back to check out where the second trail went and it was really cool (called three ponds in Snow Canyon State Park).
Cami and Taryn have all the sudden turned into phenomenal hikers. No complaining, lots of playing and pretending, and no one asking for a piggy back ride. WAHOO!!!! Jocelyn even liked walking a little but slept in the backpack most of the time. Grandma came and was amazing with her mad hiking skills and patience hiking/eating a picnic with lots of little buddies. Thanks mom!

The last two minutes of the trail were paved and the girls decided to book it.
And play horsey...
When Grandma comes we can have a picture with everyone in it-even if only a little of Jocelyn is showing.
When we got to this point in the hike Cami said - oh look this is the rain forest trail.....yup-she's a desert dweller this one....
Sweet Dreams and fresh air...
More family pictures...notice the jackets were even off at this point....
Jocelyn showing her stuff
I was actually aiming to show Cami helping Taryn down the trail but instead it just looks like a good shot of everyones back sides....
Brent surrounded by his little ladies...what a lucky guy.
Cami lucked out enough to have Grandma as a hiking buddy.
