Hanging Lake

We did a couple hikes, a couple weeks ago- so here are the pics. They were beautiful and a lot of fun and we enjoyed having Grandpa and Grandma Paula with us to help out. The kids seriously love the outdoors, it is a blast to take them anywhere. We were told about Hanging Lake a year or so after we moved here, so we were excited to finally try it out. It was only a little over a mile, so we thought kids would do fine hiking/walking. We took one back pack just in case- and regretted that very soon. They wanted to walk, but are just so little and easily distracted by rocks to throw into the water, it was taking forever. I carried a little one on my shoulder for a bit, and Grandpa- Ben kept the carrier so he had a kid in there and sometimes a kid on the shoulders too. He tries to be Hard Core!! But we did make it and everyone was happy as can be! It was awesome and we understand why the lake is named what it is. This post just has pics from the Hanging Lake hike-
