Limber Pine Hike

On Labor day instead of sitting around we decided to be adventurous and go on a hike. We found a little hike at the very top of Logan Canyon. It actually has signs along the way. Declyn thought that was great. He found a stick and used it as a gun. Then he'd run up ahead and find the signs and shoot them then yell for us to hurry. Dono was more interested in learning what was on the sign like what the different types of trees were called and what was causing them to die. And Zayder was mostly interested in walking the dog. Guess it takes all types. (At least in our family.)
Here we are at the beginning after everyone had searched out the perfect walking stick.
Here's Paul and Zayder walking Zoey.

Zayder sneaking by the boys while they pose so he can be the leader.

The boys racing to the next sign.

Declyn and Dono sitting on a "horse" tree. (According to the sign, that is caused because the snow gets so deep that it either bends the tree or breaks off the main branch and a side branch becomes the main one. . . . Just in case you wondered.)

Dec, Dono, and Zayd with their hot mom. (Literally. It got a little warm in the sun.)

Say cheese!
Declyn was a "little annoyed" at how long it was taking everyone. Here he is showing how he really feels about it as he's waiting for us to catch up.
