Silver Lake

Johnny and I love to go up into the mountains, but it can sometimes be a little tricky to take two little kiddos too.  Audrey likes to walk and/or crawl in the dirt which tends to get everybody messy!  But we have found a great solution!  We go to Silver Lake!  I have been coming here for a long time with my parents and siblings and so now it is great to pass it onto my children.  There is a perfect boardwalk and trail around the lake which makes it mostly safe for families!

The colors were beautiful, although it looks kind of dead here!  It was just fun to be in some cooler weather and it actually got a little nippy once the sun went down (it took us a long time to go around!)

We found some ducks!  Whenever we heard a duck quack Jack would say, "Duck happy!"  He thought they were laughing!

We tried to speed up the process of getting around the lake, but both children wanted mommy to hold them, and now they are getting bigger, mommy can't hold both of them and climb a small hill so we took turns.

Audrey is so happy!  Her cold is gone and two of her molars are in, so currently she is a very content little girl!

Jack would head up any little trail that went off into the trees (most of them weren't trails) and then giggle and "hide" from us.  He is darling!

There was a duck on the boardwalk cleaning up some bread crumbs that were left.  Audrey wanted to touch it so bad, but it always stayed just out of reach!

By the end, everybody was tired and we had a good ride down the canyon!  Audrey's smile here just makes me happy!
