Fresh Air

This cute crew headed out to catch some fresh air. Ellice and I decided to trek up the mountain alone with the kiddos and go to Cecret Lake, up Little Cottonwood Canyon. We were surprised to find it was a pretty popular hike... good thing we went during the week. I'm so glad we did it!! The flowers were in full bloom and simply gorgeous. I love the mountains!

The three big kids were all about it.. and lead the way.

The younger two were a bit slower.. we couldn't keep them from picking up rocks every few steps. Little Owie was strapped on Ellice's front.
The views were breathtaking.
And the flowers were everywhere.

The elephant head flower.. can you see the little heads?

After the hike, we headed to the Wirthlins for some pool time. Luke's new fashion statement.

Cheese!

This girl couldn't get enough of the water and splashing.

Abs took good care of Luker..

Abs and her funny face, Mylie and her gangsta sign.. not sure about those two. At least the boys got it right. :)

I think the bucket won.

A storm rolled in and ended the fun. We got a good scare with huge lightening and the kids were out of the pool fast!!

Another fun day with the Wirthlins. We're loving our time with them. :)
