Mountain Day

Thursday, July 29, 2010
We have had such a crazy summer that we haven't had nearly enough time to spend hiking and in the mountains. We decided today was a mountain day and we are spending the entire day, no matter what!
We started out at the Temple Quarry. We wanted the girls to find a rock to help remind them of the temple. It was a perfect little walk for June.
Can you tell I made them pose her by the historical marker?
We took a quick snack break and headed up the canyon to find the next trail.
We started up the White Pines Trail. It was very green and buggy. We went as far as we could but poor little June. Her eyes started watering and her nose was running. Definitely allergic to something.
We did stumble across this little fairy stream.
Bella splashed a bit to renew her pixie dust! We only made it about a mile before we had to turn around. We continued up the canyon and decided to stop for a treat at Snowbird.
I didn't realize they had so many fun things to do out on the plaza. Bella was very excited to try the jumping.
She was bouncing every which way and doing flip after flip. She loved it!
We rode the tram up to the top of the mountain for beautiful views.
The girls were a little nervous so we didn't stay up top very long. After a check on the wildflowers, we headed back down.
We ended the day with a little swimming.
What a great finish to a fun day in the mountains! I think we made up for lost time!
