Sunday afternoon we decided to get out of the house and head up the canyon to hike up to the Wind Caves. Lars had been up there before, but the rest of hadn't.
Checking out the map, getting ready to head up...
Cute little hikers...
It ended up being almost 4 miles round trip! We were so proud of the boys...Ashton hiked the whole trail, and Gunnar hiked about half the way up and about 3/4 of the way down. The rest of it Lars packed him on his back...
They took lots of little water breaks on the way...those backpacks are so handy!
It was worth the hike to get to the top. It is so beautiful up there!
It did make me a bit nervous at the top though and we hung onto them in the caves...it would be easy to slip and fall. FAR.
Going down was much faster and I just kept thinking how awesome the boys did.
I'm really starting to love hiking and can't wait to get some better shoes and start going more!
It also made me think of how far Lars has come with his injury in the past year...what a blessing for him to be able to hike again.
