Friends & Our Mountains...what more could you ask for?!

To help celebrate the holiday weekend, we decided to spend a fun filled day in our beautiful canyons with good friends. Despite the heavy rainfall all weekend, we were not going to let that stop us! By the time we got up there, it had finally cleared & it was nice blue skies. The kids were anxious to go adventure, like they love to do! We enjoyed picnicing, great conversations & lots of laughs together!
Looks like Aleaha is snowboarding, without the board!
These 3 are just too cute together! :} Of course you have to do some hiking while you're in the canyons. We took the kids up the trek to 'Donut Falls', one of our favorite spots. It gets it's name for the rock that has the hole in the top where the water falls through. It's fun to go underneath it in the cove (when it's warmer that is! :}) It really is a pretty spot to see!
Cute Megan, all grown up now! (well, still silly obviously! :})
Of course Dylan just HAS to go out there on the log!
Then...all of a sudden, BOOM! Here comes the rain again! No warning, no light sprinkles...just came down hard. Since we were at the top, we just had to deal with it & get our wet selves back to the camp. It's all about the adventure, right? :}
"Oh Mommy, I'm soaked!!"
It was beautiful though, and love being amongst the clouds in the sky!
You know the boys loved getting all muddy! :}
Rain was not going to stop us from making smores either! (or certainly stop Dylan from being the entertainer either! :}) Though, a little hard to keep the fire going with the rain & wet wood! :}
"Ummmm...this is the best smore EVER!"
Cute girls!
Julie, the very determined Master of the Marshmellows!
She made sure everyone got one though, despite having to restart the fire a few times!
"Caveman want steak!"

Oh, fun times!! Aaaahhhh.....gotta love it!
