An Adventure

Dave and Audrey were here with their family, so we went on a hike up Albion Basin to a lake (maybe Secret Lake).  The kids had so much fun with Dave and Audrey's kids.  The scenery was beautiful.  

 Dave and Audrey's kids totally took care of Austin, Scott, and Kate.  The boys especially (and A and S really love being spoiled!)  The kids kept getting walking sticks (although I think it hindered rather than helped).  This is Austin with Caden.

 All the kids loved trying to climb up big rocks and to explore.

 Audrey found this great place for photos of the kids.  What a cute bunch!

 We got a little family pic too, I love it, that scenery is awesome!

 We got to the top and started to get lunch out.  There had been clouds up there all day, but we didn't worry too much.  Brady was getting a little nervous and said something about there being lightning.  Audrey responded, "There is not any lightning."  The SECOND after she said that there was lightning, loud thunder and it started raining--it was so funny!  We were still at the top, so quickly packed our lunches so we could start down.  It started raining HARD, hailing really hard and thick.  Our kids were all crying and we made some good time down that mountain.  It took us about an hour to get up, maybe 15 minutes to get down.  We made the kids take this picture, telling them it would be a funny memory--the day we went up in the mountains and got poured and hailed on--in the middle of July!
