Hiking in Snow Canyon

We decided the kids were needing a little adventure in their lives, so we traveled over to Snow Canyon State Park with our puppy chow (recipe to follow) and water bottles to hike! The kids loved it and wanted to keep going but we figured 2 miles of hiking was plenty for one day. We aren't much like the pioneers a little weaker to say the least! K, W and Z on our way up Jenny's Canyon!

Let's go on another hike, that was fun!
They're off and running! This time we found a 1.5 mile round trip trail to take.
Climbing rocksWaving was the only way I could get their attention, climbing is much cooler than taking a picture just cause mom wants me to!
T kept leaving us in the dust
