Our Summer 2015! : The Looooonnnngg Hike

Yeah it's not a very original title, but hey we actually had a summer this year, so I'm going with it. We had 6 weeks of summer and we really seemed to fill every moment! Here are a few things we did:

We drug our children on a 5 hour/ 8-10 mile hike to Cecret Lake. We didn't really intend to hike that long,  (you can blame it on me), but we made it! We wore the kids out in the process! We saw 3 moose, some rock chucks, squirrels,and salamanders (or something like that).  Maren was quite the trooper, they all were really, but I did have to carry her about half the way back. Not too bad for a then 3 year old on a surprisingly long and sometimes steep hike.

We also saw snow in summer which the kids thought was so wild! We passed the ski lifts, Dad picked wildflowers for the girls. And see that top right corner picture? That is from where we parked. We hiked to that furthest peak that you can see the sun is still touching.

Good thing we took snacks and water! They were all asleep by the time we drove home. :)
