This last Saturday Ethan and I hiked to Silver Lake for the second time this year. Kristen's brother and his family joined us on this trip. Ethan was so excited because he was able to carry his own backpack on this hike, which he has not done before. Even though the weather man did predict rain, it came earlier than he said it would. We were prepared but it is never fun to be at 9,000 feet with the wind blowing rain and hail into your face. So we were not able to spend much time at the lake. We were actually hoping that we would be able to hike to a lake above Silver Lake called Silver Glance Lake but that did not happen. Maybe next year we will finally be able to visit Silver Glance Lake. The fall colors were absolutely beautiful and even though it was a quick trip Ethan and I had a great time together. This quite possibly may be our last hike for this year. Hopefully the weather will hold because Ethan really wants to take his cousin, Kaden, on a hike when they visit in the end of October.
The next day we took a family trip and drove the alpine loop. We made several photo op stops including one at Cascade Springs. This is a fun little trail that is great for the kids. We spent this last weekend out in the great outdoors because soon the cold Utah winter will arrive. The fall colors were beautiful all throughout the canyon and the drive as well.
Ethan also tried his hand at some photography. He really wants to get a camera of his own. Here is a sample of some of his work.
