Last Day of Summer.

We love hiking to Cecret Lake in Albion Basin. But, we usually get to it the last day of summer. But at least we got there. 
It gives me anxiety getting there and parked, there are like 12 spots and five million people that hike it. This year we left our house at 8 and I was sure we would be way late for a spot, but surprisingly enough, there were plenty of spots (four) empty when we got to the trail. 
 This was Preston's first "big" hike, and although slower because he was interested in everything, he was a trooper.

 He did hitch a ride a few times :)
 The wildflowers were gorgeous!
 And we made it to the top! It took us an hour to go a mile, but hey, we made it!


 Hiking babies!
 And look how we've grown...
Here's last year, 2014...
And this year, 2015..

By the time we got down, 11-ish, there were a million people lined up waiting for a spot. A rock-chuck ran into Hayden's leg and that made him dance around and scream. Haha, then he was so scared everytime he saw one. Hayden and Preston were admiring the dumpster, and a bunch of rock-chucks came out from under it and you would have thought he was being chased by a bear the way he ran away screaming! Love my Hayden.
We had a great time. Wonderful way to end the summer.
