Saddle Rock conquered!

 Finally!
After 3 unsuccessful attempts we hiked all the way to the top of Saddle Rock.
That's 4 of 5 hikes checked off of the challenge. 
These two started the hike with exploring and rock climbing.

On our way to the top!

Vivian couldn't be happier than when she is in the pack.

Rolli taking his time to pick the best spot to jump across the water rut.

"Wee haw!!"

Daddy and Rolli discussing just how these "canyons" got here.

Vivian, Daddy and Bella.
At the top of Saddle Rock!!!

Mommy and Rolli.
Always love the view from here :)

I'd been craving a sunny day, a relaxing spot and a calming view.
And Colter seems to be just cozy right here too ;)

I'll share the view with these little feet any day :)

After we enjoyed our snack, the fresh air and a bit more of exploring we started the decent.
Usually the easiest part...
Until, of course, you get crazy legs while running down a steep slope.

Ooops!
Vivian fell victim to the 'crazy legs'.
Poor girl bit it hard :(
Fortunately she just needed a backpack ride to the car, lots of snuggles and a cupcake.
I'm confident that she'll survive.

A warm sun to our backs makes for a pleasant end to a successful hike.
Notice how Viv couldn't wave because her arms and hands still hurt too bad from the fall.
You might also notice how we ended with 1 injured child and I still call it
a "successful" hike.

One more hike to go before Rolli and Viv can get their new shirts!
