Family Hike/Dog Lake from Mill Creek Canyon

 Samuel is excited to begin!!
 The kids sitting on a log waiting for lunch
 Let's start hiking!
 Here we go!
 Elijah likes it!
 So does Samuel.
 Had to stop for a snack break.
 Brennan likes his trail mix.
 Joshua does, too.
 It is beautiful in them thar hills!
 So cute watching Elisabeth and EmmaRay hold hands hiking up the path
 Nothing is more fun than a cool mountain stream
 Elisabeth washing her face
 This is FUN!!
 Let's splash some more!
 EmmaRay and Elijah going at a good clip
 EmmaRay showing the spring growth on the evergreen, even though it's the end of July
 Quite a hike :)
 Gorgeous, green and tons of flowers
 Adelynn loved it all, too.  The rest of us liked everything but the flies!
 One more fuel stop
We all enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the walk.  It was a pretty good climb, and the kids did great!  Nearly a 4 mile round trip.  We had a few tired bodies at the end!  Then back to Annie and Michael's for a nice hot dog picnic.  A perfect day..........!

Samuel is a chunk!! Looks like a fun hike! Wish I was closer so I could join, too. Although I'd want to be carried in one of those baby carriers!! :)

That's impressive that those kids lasted 4-miles!
