3 Lakes Hike

We finally were able to go on a family hike. We borrowed Katie Robertson's backpack and headed up to the 3 lakes hike that my family did over the 4th.

The weather was perfect, except for a tiny rain storm at "lake" 2. It came out of no where and came hard. The wind really picked up which made the rain cold. We contemplated turning back, but instead decided to wait a little while under a groove of tress. While we were waiting, we let Kelsey out and explore. Luckily the storm passed within 15 minutes and we were able to make it up to the 3rd and final lake.

Kelsey did FANTASTIC!!! The type of backpack you use, really makes a difference. This time she was able to see where we were going and move her arms and legs. She was so so happy!

She did get a little frustrated because she wanted to get out and walk, but luckily that was right before our stop at the final lake and so we were able to bear her whining until then. She just loves to walk now, especially when we are outside. She LOVES to be outside.

 At the third lake, we stopped put our feet in the freezing water (no one complained except me), ate lunch, and let Kelsey roam free.

I guess she had a lot of fun because on the way down, she put her head on Ethan's shoulders and fell asleep. Overall it was a great hike.

As a side note, we ran into the Tour de Utah on the way down the canyon. That was kinda fun to see too.
