Evening hike in Ferguson Canyon

Today was lovely. Don't I sound like such an old broken record? A record you're tired of hearing? Yea, well it was a lovely day. Again.

This morning E and I had some friends over for brunch and then after a very fussy afternoon with a certain McGoo (Fussy McGoo that is) and a nice long afternoon nap that seemed to improve McGoo's attitude, we did a mini hike up Ferguson Canyon.

The last time we were in Ferguson we didn't hike very far either, and this time was no different. We like this hike because even if you only go up a little ways, it is stunning. And tonight did not disappoint.

Once we stopped to take a break and let the baby man out of the pack, he took off. He was happy to hike on his own. Notice from the blur he was moving fast.
I just love the way these two look at each other. Love it.
Such a goofy kid.
1 - Graham crackers are such a good hiking snack
2- But not as good as DIRT!

I was laughing and snapping away as E was trying to get James to not shove a handful of dirt into his mouth.
He succeeded (and E failed at blocking all the attempts). Notice the dirt evidence left behind on the cheeks and chin?
I love these two more than they will ever know.
And a few more from our hike:




And right at the end of our night out we saw this guy glide over us. James was fascinated.
Goodnight Salt Lake City.
