We got an early start up to Albion Basin on Friday. The girls were so excited that Kevin didn't have to go to work and that we could all go and play! We hadn't been to Albion Basin before, but it certainly lived up to all we had heard about it. Beautiful meadows upon meadows of wildflowers. (Lots of people too, but maybe that was due to the holiday.) We took a little hike up to Cecret Lake and had a picnic afterward. The girls especially loved the stream crossings and spying newts in the lake.
Luke rode in the backpack for the first time and did pretty well. There are lots of straps to chew on!
Do you think they're tired of taking pictures yet????
We made it! With both girls walking the whole way there (and back!), with very little complaining, and even a decent amount of elevation gain (for little legs).
Out of the many yellow, white, red, pink, blue, and purple flowers, this one was my favorite! Prime flower-viewing time is still on for the next few weeks, go check it out!
After the lake and a few errands, we made a spur of the moment to go into Salt Lake to spend the night. We got to go to the Friday night Concert in the Park series that is right next to my parents' apartment. It's so fun to listen to the live music outdoors-- and it was a great concert. The girls had fun watching the amazing amount of dragonflies and trying to catch a gnat in their hands. I hope we can catch a concert this summer again! They are lots of fun.

I love that you do so many fun things with your kids.
I love that hike...very kid friendly : ). What a pretty day for a hike.
So glad you got to go! It's beautiful!
Justin will be glad to hear of a great hike that we can do. He's very into hiking right now. I'm glad you shared. That video of the girls singing a lullaby is so sweet. They have such lucky baby dolls!
I want to go to there!!! I miss those mountains. Hope everything's going well? How is it having a boy now?
It looks like you are having a fabulously fun summer!!!
