Utah Day 4: Hike

On the last day of our trip we went up Cottonwood Canyon to the Twin Lakes trail by Silver Lake.  We had a nice picnic in the mountains.  The kids had fun watching the very un-shy squirrels come grab any of our crumbs that dropped.
 Tommy is loving his new power to read and stopped at any informational signs.
 He still loves climbing and posing on big rocks!
 The hike was beautiful the entire way.  We love being able to get a few pictures of just the two of us!
 The top 1/3 of the hike was quite rocky and steep the whole way!
 The lake was really beautiful at the top.
 This is "Twin Lakes".
 As we were trying to get the above pictures a stranger came and offered to take our family picture, but then she asked the kids to make a silly face so this is the only family one we got at the top!
 It was so green and beautiful!!

 Awesome trail we got to hike.
 On the way back Tommy begged to climb these rocks so we took a rest while Whitney & Tommy explored.

This trip was by far one of my favorite mini trips in a long time.  We had fun the entire time and came back happy and re-energized instead of more worn out than when we started! :D
