Our annual November hike to the Y! This year with the Andersons.
Bella and Brianne, best friends
The first quarter-mile always sees some poutiness. Check out the sass in this step.

The best and brightest smiler! Ever since the day he was born.
There was some intense imagination going on with sticks turning into swords with names like "the lightning killer" and "thunder power" and whatnot.
lots of scrambling

Jarom and Torin and Collin rushed to the Y on the lower trail
climbing it is dangerous for tottering toddlers!

Orion said that this was "amazing!"
This view always makes me think of China. Am I right?
the sunset coming down is one of our favorite parts
until next year . . .

. . . or next week? Joey and I (Matt) decided to go up while they were visiting--just the two of us.

We cut over south toward Slide Canyon to see something new. The whole north-facing side of the canyon was shadowed and snowy, and we stood and watched for a bit before speaking. As soon as we did, a flurry of deer rustled up and out and the canyon, then headed up through the snow to higher ground.
You can see six deer in this picture if you look closely.

matt your little descriptions are so nice and sweet. i love hearing about the boys' imaginative games and bella's poutiness. and oey's giant grand smile and him saying "amazing!" such great details! and that herd of deer picture is seriously blowing my mind...it's like a painting with hidden objects in nature. i love it. now i do want to hike the Y. we have missed you guys so much over the past couple days.
I've always wanted to do that hike! The pictures o f you and Joey on that rock are amazing!! I'm loving the pictures of the kids and their little friends. Hiking is always more fun with a friend. I'm so jealous of oey's hair, perfect little Ray of sunshine! Love you!
