My favorite hike

Me, with my great kids, getting ready to start the hike.

 Today we went on my favotie hike.  It is the three forks hike up Spanish Fork canyon.  It is such a beautiful place, especially in the fall.  The hike is on a little trail that takes you through the trees while you are walking next to a stream most of the way.  There are so many beautiful scenes where the sun is shining on the fall leaves making the colors amazing!  All of the kids were awesome hikers!  Katie walked a good portion of the hike and never complained.  We packed a dinner and it was so nice to just sit in the leaves and enjoy the quietness of the mountains.  Pictures never seem to capture how beautiful the scene really is, but here are some of my favorites from our wonderful day!

Katie got to ride on Daddy's shoulders for some of the hike.

Dale found this really cool caterpillar.  Unfortunately, Jenny stepped on it and either killed it or injured it pretty bad.
