We went on this beautiful hike in Connecticut. Not really, but our friends who took us said it reminded them of Connecticut in the fall. It was the Preston Valley Trail in Logan, UT. I loved the colors and picked up lots of leaves to press. We thought these photos would make lovely family Christmas photos, but if I'm not organized enough to send anything out, here we are!

Pip look so pensive in this shot!

We packed the kids on our backs and Squeak's backpack broke in two places on the way up. The first time D was able to rig a quick fix, but the second time we had to switch to the mei tai which I had luckily brought along.


I love the dribble on Pip's chin in this photo



This one shows the telltale Rocky Mountains in the background. What an awesome hike! I realized how out of shape I am as I was huffing and puffing up the mountain. We'd like to hike the Grand Canyon next summer--I better get my act together!
