Dog Lake

A man and his dog...need I say more :)

Look at this view, totally worth all the huffing and puffing!!

Here we are at Dog Lake. I loved all the colors as the trees are turning for fall.


Brad and Evie
Saturday afternoon Brad, Evie, and I headed up Mill Creek Canyon for a hike. We hiked to Dog Lake, which is 3.6 miles round trip. It felt more like 10 miles, but at least I survived. I am sure Brad could have made the hike up in half the time if it weren't for me needing to take a breather every 10 steps!! The weather was perfect, Evie was well behaved, and there was no fee for going up the canyon that day...who could ask for anything more!


After the hike Brad, Myles, and I went to dinner at Outback. It was soo yummy. This was Myles' request for having perfect parent/teacher conferences. His history teacher said "Myles is a handful, but he is also one of the brightest students I have ever taught." Wow!! That is music to this Mother's ears.

I know what you mean about hearing that! Not that Andrew is old enough to have parent teacher conference, but that he is an absolute handful, but pretty dang smart I must say! Good job on the hike! Next hike, we are in! See you tonight for some weights!
