We finally got brave enough to take the babes up Big Cottonwood Canyon for their very first camping trip. Aspen was, in her own words, "a little cited(excited)" if you can't tell from the pictures.
It was a little chilly. It affected our two babes quite differently. June decided the best way to deal with the cold was to sleep for the entire trip. She occasionally poked an eye out to see if she was still camping. Once that was confirmed she quickly closed her eyes and escaped to the world of sleep again (don't worry she was plenty warm and her sleeping was not a sign of mild hypothermia).
Aspen on the other hand, was not slowed down a bit by the cold. We could barely keep her in her sleeping bag through the night. When asked in the morning if she was cold she stated "No, I'm sweaty."
We did a little hiking in the morning. Aspen was quite pleased to find snow along the way and was asking for her snowsuit and requested that we build a snowman at each snowbank we came upon. Coming back down the trail we came upon a few people from Houston posing with one of her snowmen we built for a picture.
This is Aspen enjoying the views of the surrounding peaks and posing for a few pics atop a small peak we hiked to.
