What Goes Up....

Monday morning was a perfect day to head up Little Cottonwood Canyon for a hike. Kris was happy to jump in the front seat of the van to keep Brei company while Keven and I entertained the kids in the back. We met up with Soren and Rachele and their crew, and off we went!

After crossing the bridge Kris joined in and threw rocks into the stream with everyone else. I remember watching him do that with dad when he was little!

We hiked up the mountain about a mile

and stopped to throw some more rocks into the stream.

He enjoyed sitting in the sun while the rest of us relished the coolness of the shade from the aspens and firs. It was a lovely hike, and we shared some good memories of all the time dad and mom spent on trails, and how much they loved the mountains as we hiked back down the mountain.

That afternoon we headed to the airport, and Kris spent the rest of the day and much of the evening walking through airport corridors with nary a complaint. What a trooper!
