Hike

We went on a hike with Sean's family this afternoon.  We met at the trail head for Doughnut Hole Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon.  However, we grossly underestimated it completely.  We get there and people are snow shoeing out in full snow gear.  Since non of us were prepared for what that hike was, we chose a different hike half way down by the 's' curve.  It wasn't nearly as snow covered still and it was still amazing.
We took the wrong trail and when we realized it we were pretty high up the mountain but all the kids were loving it.  So we hiked back down and got on the right trail.  We took tons of photos, which by the reaction of Sean's kids, they aren't use to it.  But they were happy to do it for us.
We all had fun hiking up the stream, some feet getting wet, but still lots of fun.  I couldn't believe how good Lili is at hiking.  I know she loves it and she asks to go ALL the time but she really has a knack for it, I can see it being a huge hobby for her when she's older.
We got tons of great photos, the kids had a great time and we realized no matter what, being positive and making the most of what it is, is the best outcome which was still enjoyable and worthwhile even though we didn't have snow shoeing gear....hahaha
Today was wonderful and packed full of fun family time.  I hope it will always be like this when the kids are much older and grown....with families of their own too.  I love my awesome family!
