Weekends in Utah

We tried to make the best of our "free time" while in Utah. Having the mountains so close we couldn't help but go play every weekend. Dan was pretty busy during the week and had residency applications to work on too, but we managed to go on some sort of hike every weekend and spend time with family.

The first weekend we went into Little Cottonwood canyon and hiked to Secret Lake. It was really pretty. Parker hiked the whole thing and Ethan hiked a lot of too. It was fun to go on a real hike as a family and see the boys enjoy it so much.

The next weekend we went to Britta's and spent the weekend with them. We went to a BYU game together. It was really hot and the kids made it interesting but it was fun to be back in Provo. Afterwards, the kids cooled off at a splash pad. On Sunday morning before church, we took the boys to Bridal Veil Falls for a little walk.

Go BYU!

We were not prepared for how cold it would be on this walk so Ethan is wearing Adalee's shirt under his t-shirt. It was pretty funny.

The next weekend we went on a hike around Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon.  And then we met up with Aunt Carol, Uncle Bill and Jenny. It was really good to see them and catch up. The boys definitely loved all of the attention.
