Hidden Haven

 Hidden Haven might become a tradition for our family.  I love this hike, which is just up the canyon.  It is so easy for our kids and they have so much fun.  We did it for FHE last year, and the kids have been begging to up again now that the snow is gone.  Our friend, Kelley, came with us, and we had so much fun.  We love that girl. 
 Katie, Rachel, and Sarah, led the pack the whole way up and back.  They got pretty far ahead, and then I found them up the mountain, ready for a picture.
 Bekah was amazed with everything, but especially the water.  She was pretty wet by the time we got home, but she loved it and was happy.

 Nathan was also fun to watch.  He explored and also got a bit wet.  David was good to keep up with him the whole time.
One of the best things about a family is being part of something great.  I feel that often when I am with my family.  I am not saying that parenting is easy or fantastic every second.  But, I do feel like I am part of something that is special and great.  That the time I spend with my children talking or hiking is important.  I love that the gospel centers on family.  That it makes no apologies that the family is central to our Creator's plan.  I am so grateful and blessed to be part of this family, they each make me so much better than I would be without them.
