Labor Day Fun

Most of our labor day this year was actually spent down in the basement painting our new rooms. Hooray! But we decided to take a break from that for a little while and go for a hike. At the garage sale we had a couple weeks back we made a great trade with my sister in law and her boys. When we were packing up our nephews really wanted some of James' old tae kwon do padding he use to use. So we traded that for this awesome baby carrier. Well over labor day weekend we thought we'd try it out. Avery absolutely hated it at first. but when she discovered that we were going outside with it she decided it wasn't that bad. By the end of our hike she was a happy yet tired little girl. We live at the base of the mountains, not quite the benches. I don't know anyway. they have these ATV, Horse and hiking trails really close to our house. So we decided to keep it simple and stay close to home. The trail we went on is a short trail that leads to the Bonneville shoreline trail. The first part of the hike was hard and hot. but once we got to the top of the hill it was shady and cool. There was even a cute stream that we hiked next to. We had a lot of fun. It helped remind me just how much I love to hike and I think we will try and get as much of it in before the snow starts to fly. But then we might just head to Moab and continue down there. Here are some pictures of our hike. I had my camera on the wrong setting for some of the pictures so there are a few that are dark and not a lot of pictures. oh well. :)

 Avery loved drinking water out of the camel bak.
