New Gear and the Great Outdoors :)


For Christmas last year my brother gave us a super cool backpack that we can use hiking with Lucy.  Tuesday we finally gave it a test run.  The three of us and Spencer's sister, Kristen, went up Little Cottonwood Canyon.  
We were headed for Cecret Lake at the top of the canyon.  None of us had been there before though and we ended up at a dead end closed road before we could get to the trail head.  

We decided to just hike the road up for awhile and see where it would lead us.  It led us up for 2.5 miles!  Turns out the trail was closed for snow anyway, so no biggie.  It was super pretty and we stopped to enjoy the view at the top.  


Lucy got an especially high view from her daddy!!



For our birthdays, my brother, dad, and Patti went in together and got us this bike trailer (a.k.a. Lucy's chariot).  It's been a lot of fun.  This picture is from Spencer's birthday - we went down the Jordan River Parkway.  We've taken it around the neighborhood a bunch too.  It also converts into a jogging stroller which has been nice - Lucy and I go jogging about 3 or 4 days a week now.

Looks like our hike wore a couple of us out! (Whoops! Picture in the wrong spot and Blogger's not letting me move it, oh well!)
