Fun in Utah

This past week we were able to go to Utah for a little fun. Taegan and I stayed with my sister Jennifer while Kyle went with his friends to Yellowstone.  We all had so much fun and we really did not want to come back home.  Here are some pictures we took while we were there.

5 States in 4 Days

Alex led the way on the Mount Rogers hike.

We took a short break at the Thomas Knob Shelter near the summit.

Taegan's favorite trail food was fruit snacks that would occasionally

 find there way down Daddy's shirt.

The summit was very cool and damp - covered in ferns and moss.

Alex - deep in thought at the summit.

Scenic view from the Mount Mitchell accent.

Taegan was more interested in  playing with rocks than hiking the trails.

This was another quick escape from Alex and Mommy.

Taegan and Daddy cap off the hike by touching the summit marker.

Eric and Alex dominate the summit marker.

This deck was just below the high point and offered a beautiful view 

of the South Carolina Mountains.

On our way to the final trail head of the trip - Brasstown Bald

Taegan spit his binky out, so I thought it was a perfect time to take a break.

The summit had a really cool tower with a visitor center and theater.

Once again the trail guide showed us some fancy moves.

Stalking our prey!
