hiking and swimming and sliding, oh my.

we are loving all the eye candy that is ever present at our home sweet home.
two weeks ago justin had a thursday off work so we headed out on a hike.


red cliffs is not far at all and it was beautiful. the kids did great on the hike and we were all so excited to play once we reached our destination.


the pools were perfect for playing.


cole loved running though them...


while,


ali loved the mud.

they both found plenty to smile about.

cole especially loved sliding down from pool to pool.

while ali loved...the mud.

she had the smoothest skin after her self inflicted spa-like treatment.


I mean look at cole's face, could he look happier? I think not.


and that makes mommy happy.


and daddy? oh he was in heaven. swimming...under a waterfall...surrounded by all this...with his kids...and his wife actually being outdoorsie...perfection to him.


we can't believe how lucky we are to have all this at our fingertips...


and these cute kiddos in our arms.

we all loved our mini adventure.


and we are sure to be back soon.

This is so cool!!! I only like to hike if there is a pool at the end like this. I'm so jealous. It makes me want to go hike somewhere...but I don't think it will be quite as cool. :-)

Looks like fun. Ali looks like she's drinking the water in one of those last shots. Too funny.

We love that place! It's probably about the same distance from us as from you. We went a few months ago, when the pools weren't that great. We'll have to go again - that look especially refreshing with all this heat we're having!
