Mormon Pioneer Trail

After breakfast we like to hike the old Mormon Pioneer & Pony Express Trail, it's not too long of a hike but the leaves are beautiful and the history of the area is kind of fun. This was Ledger's first hike in the Kelty pack and he really seemed to like it up there :)
The dogs are always happy to hike!!!
It was a gorgeous fall day, so warm with a little breeze. Ledger loves to be outdoors. He is silent when we hike, just taking it all in. He tried so hard to stay awake but near the top of the trail he could not force his little eyes to stay open any longer.
I'm sure he enjoyed a nice nap in the warm sunshine while being packed out, I know I would have :)
Thanks for an awesome morning and a fun tradition Marq!

Annual Fall Mountain Breakfast

A couple years ago Marq woke me up one Fall morning and said he had a surprise but wouldn't tell me where we were going. As I am not a morning person I'm sure I was less than excited but we got dressed and headed up Parley's Canyon. The leaves where beautiful shades of orange, yellow and red and when we stopped we were at a campground. Marq began unloading the trunk which contained our campstove and everything we needed for a wonderful mountain breakfast. I know... I'm married to the most amazing husband :)This is one of my favorite photos of Ledger and his dad!
This breakfast in the mountains has become one of our traditions, we did it again last year with some friends (when I was 6 months pregnant) and we really wanted to take Ledger this year.
The morning was a little chilly but it warmed up as soon as the sun made it up over the mountain.
Breakfast was awesome and the dogs loved exploring.
