Got some elevation hiking in today. First up was a quick early morning hike with Claire to Horsetail Falls. Then I went with Lorien and Wendy to Snowbird. We hiked up to Hidden Peak and rode the tram down. (For freeee.) Good day and now I’m really hungry.
5th annual one night backpacking with the Bells is complete and it was another awesome time in nature. We went back to Willow Lake where we saw a moose just like last year. We also saw ducks which were fun to watch. Sadie loved our dehydrated dinner of chicken Alfredo and she ate her yearly fill of peachios. :). Becca built us a fire per usual. We chatted and laughed around it and I loved it. I also love my sleeping bag that kept me warm. The morning was quite chilly by the lake until the sun came out. 19 hours of backpacking fun!
We were trying to remember what made us go backpacking the first time. We couldn't come up with the exact things but we were so glad we did since the first time turned into 5 years of going which is awesome. The girls were cute little 12 year olds the first time and now they're 17 year old seniors.
It makes me smile when Cam plays hide and seek with Baylie. It also makes me smile when Cam and Sadie sing (with gusto). Music from Sing 2 is usually their go to.
All you need to make Sadie happy is Little Ceasars Pizza.
Capitol Reef highlights:
What a lovely day just relaxing at one of my favorite campgrounds. We enjoyed the shade at our site by chatting and playing games and snacking and hanging out together. PS - the walk from the campground to the visitor center is much longer than you think.
