Day 7 - Part 1 - Hanging lake with a celebration

 Early morning for a BEAUTIFUL hike to hanging lake.  I remember Rachel messaging us in April to make reservations for a parking spot (hiking was limited due to COVID) she said the hike was one of the best in the area.  The early morning hour was ideal for all the activities planned for today.  Off we all go!The photos and landscaping kept changing as we hiked.  It was Rachel and Alex, our family, my sister's family, Russ, Raela and Katie!  Great to hike and chat


Such a beautiful spot - you literally round a corner and here it is.  Its filled by a mountain stream and refreshingly beautiful





Kids enjoyed bounding along the rocks
This photo depicts why Alex has received the 'fun cousin' label!

Here are some more great captures from my sister's camera
Gotta give a shout of to Raela for rocking the hike and Rachel.  Rachel struggles with glaucoma and is almost legally blind.  While she isn't alway stable on her feet - she doesn't seem to let that slow her down.  She had a hiking stick and was happy to keep up!
My sister apparently caught me posing and I had to post it.
A little break time story from Alex
This view with these adorable dudes - the younger mountain goat version
These 2 adorbs!  This hanging lake is a science teachers dream!
Thank you to the kind hiker that captured our group with a panoramic photo
Here we all are - remind me, is the down harder?
