We didn't have church on Sunday because of the temple dedication so we decided to go on a trip up the canyon to Payson Lake to get out of the canyon and have a picnic.
Of course we the boys both fell asleep as we were pulling into the parking lot!
Luckily it wasn't too busy so we decided to start with our lunch hoping that it would energize the boys so that they could enjoy their time at the lake.
Paxton ate a total of 2 bites of his sandwich and 2 chips before he realized that we were at the lake and that why should he be sitting at a table eating when there were rocks to throw and water to throw them in!
Tegan just wanted to play in the dirt! Everytime I would set him down or take my eye off of him for a second he would make a beeline straight for the mud and the water!
Paxton had a great time collecting rocks...
and throwing them into the water!
About a half hour and a hundred rock later we decided to take a walk around the lake. Paxton insited on walking by himself and with his short little legs I was afriad this walk was going to take us hours!
Once Paxton found himself a walking stick I was afraid it was going to take all day because he has to stop an poke every tree and leaf along the path. Luckily about a third of the way down the trail Paxton found a fuzzy orange and black caterpillar and decided that he didn't want to run into anymore bugs so he got in the stroller! The walk was so beautiful and we say a lot of great scenery!
After our walk we drove through the rest of the Nebo Loop enjoying the beautiful fall colors (until I fell asleep!) We found lots of little hikes and camping spots that we look forward to visiting in the future!
I LOVE this time of the year and am so greatful to live so close to the canyon so that we can enjoy the beautiful colors whenever we want!
