July Hiking and Camping

We spent lots of fun times in the mountains during July.  One Saturday morning, we headed up to Ferguson Canyon which is between Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons.  You wouldn't even know it was there unless you knew where you were going.  It was beautiful!





It was freezing!

Power squat for Deeds



Yes we did traverse up that steep hill.  I would have never made it down without my Gandalf staff.

Dirty feet and destroyed pedicure...that's a good Saturday morning right there!
The next Saturday morning we headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon to hike to Cecret Lake.  It was pretty busy with lots of families.  This is a great hike for the kiddos.  It was also lovely!  We sat on a rock and just enjoyed the scenery.








The wildflowers were in full bloom.  This picture doesn't do them justice!
We also went on a little camping trip in July with the besties.  It was quick, but it was so fun!  We went up to Little Mill Campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon.  Jake and Olivia and Sadie picked me up Friday afternoon and we headed up to claim our spot.  We got everything set up, and then James and Tricia joined us a few hours later.  We made tin foil dinners which were the best tin foil dinners I've ever had in my life.  Then we roasted s'mores and hung out around the campfire.  It was perfect!
What else is perfect is waking up to this...

This was my face at that moment!

All of us piled into my big tent including Sadie's pack n' play.  She is a camping champion!

We made a quick fire to cook breakfast, and then packed up camp and headed back to the real world.


I'm drunk on s'mores!


It was hopefully the first of many camping trips for this crew!  I love summer in the mountains!
