A Sunday Stroll through the mountains...

Yesterday was the Brigham City Temple Dedication so there was no regular church meetings for us. So, after going to the dedication, we decided that we would take advantage of the fall foliage and drive up the canyon. Mike took us up to Silver Lake, which is right by the Brighton ski resort. It was a cute little lake with picnic areas, walking path, lots of places for the kids to play. It was a blast. I have never been up there, but I think we might find ourselves going up there again. It was beautiful and the kids had so much fun! It was a great Sunday afternoon for our family!

 The kids thought that it was so much fun to play on the large trees that have fallen. Ethan was picking up sticks and rocks at every turn. Brynlee enjoyed climbing on every rock, tree, stump, etc.

 Our couple photo shot. We don't get this opportunity very often! I think it turned out okay.

 Just walking along the path, the kids loved that they could walk by themselves!

 A small glimpse of the beauty that we were surrounded by.

 Brynlee was kind of struggling to keep up, so Mike helped with the speed a little! Not without losing a few eyebrows!

 We had to stop on the rocks for a picture...each of them got a rock to themselves, it was very exciting!

 Our family photo! It was so fun!

 Again....photo op on the rocks! We did this a lot!

 How can you NOT love those faces?! 

 This is where Ethan said, "Oh Mom, it is just a piddle!"

 There were these great little paths all around that the kids thought were great to go hide in. It was fun!

 The drive back home through Midway!!

 Can you believe how bright and vibrant it is?! 

Loved every minute of our Sunday stroll through the mountains. I am so glad that we got to spend this beautiful Sabbath day in the beautiful artistic work of our Heavenly Father. What a treat!
