Bell Canyon

Last night for Family Night we decided to take a hike up Bell Canyon. We have been wanting to do it for a long time and finally decided we needed to get it done before the weather turns to not so nice. It was a perfect night for a hike. I had Liev in his little pouch, Rhen was on Josh's back in the carrier and Rease was on her own as a lone hiker. Uncle Greg and Jax came with us and he was a big help to Rease. (She did great on her own, but on the way back we were glad Greg could help out.)

Rhen was in the best seat by far. She had fun just looking around and didn't have to spend any energy to get to where we were going.
Rease and Greg were a good pair - they led us the whole way up.
We wanted to show the kids the trees that are starting to turn colors. We found this amazing red tree and had to grab a picture. Rease loved the leaves and thought they looked more pink than red.

The hike up to the lake took us about 30 minutes but it is a pretty good hike uphill. We were happy to make it to the lake. It was beautiful!
I love Rease's red cheeks - she did so great and made it all on her own!
The girls promptly started to play in the water. (I didn't get any pictures but they also found some ducks and threw their whole dinner to them. "These ducks are so hungry" they kept saying. )

Eating some dinner before it disappeared to the ducks.
We had such a fun time and the setting was perfect. Great family night activity!

Talk about beautiful place. What a fun thing to do as a family. I loved Rease's cheeks too! So cute. And I can't believe how many great family photos you got. Oh and Josh-do you have those funny shoes that dad has? Wasn't quite sure but thought maybe you did in that bottom picture. You guys.
