Family Hike Summer 2016

We set out early early early one Saturday morning to go hike a specific trail we'd heard of.  For some reason it didn't work out and we decided to go find another nature-y place to spend our morning.  Which then became one of our favorite family hikes to date: early morning at Park City.

the sun had just risen and everything was still cool and shady and just starting to warm up.  i think andrew was getting nostalgic for his alaska life.  i love when he gets like that because he talks all about hiking and campouts with his dad and brothers.  we've talked about how we both feel so blessed to have grown up around some pretty amazing nature- for me the ocean and for him the mountains and all things alaska

he's making them nature girls

she was adamant that this baby come with us and be in the pictures.  it kind cracks me up now.

THIS ROCK is what made this one of my favorite hikes.  it was huge.  it was cold.  it had a humongous open sky above it.  it wasn't too far of a hike but it felt like you were out in the middle of nowhere.  it had the most perfect crevices to take a nap in.  i could've stayed here all day.
seriously, it was a great rock!

a little beyond those trees we saw a moose!

this is him at the top of that beautiful rock!  he was reluctant to take a selfie but since the rest of us couldnt quite follow him up there he did it for me.  plus i don't have enough pictures of his handsome face.  seriously i wish we took more pictures of him/with him.  this is one of my new favorite pictures now. 

and we found another creek to play in!  they just seem to find us wherever we go.

after the hike we went and had doughnuts on a bridge at memory grove park, a bridge that we had hung out on when we were dating!

and she just has a real good smile.
