Labor Day

We like to find a hike for Labor Day-this year my sis in law organized us to going to Ensign Peak up above the State Capitol. It's a great little hike with fantastic views. I didn't lug the big camera so this is all taken with cell phone, so excuse the quality.

The kids at the top (camera facing North-kids are facing toward the valley).

 The family at the top-camera facing out toward the valley.

 Trevor decided to do some extra hiking and went all the way up this hill. He's the little speck at the top left.

 After the hike, we grabbed a picnic lunch and ate at Liberty Park. The kids played for a while and then we wandered over to the pond. They were still doing the paddle boats! We were so excited because it's something that we've wanted to do, but they haven't ever been there when we were (we don't go to Liberty Park that much!). Darren took Aubrey and Trevor.

 I had Rachel. Once we got the hang of controlling it, I let Rachel guide us and paddle for a while.

 The fountain was still open for the kids to play in. It was not by the splash pad where we have typically gone, but a little further south toward the pond. It represents the rivers that form the canyons that run into the Salt Lake Valley. The kids don't care about that, they just care about getting W-E-T! Aubrey is playing with Charlotte.
