Yesterday Bill had a day off of work so we made another quick day trip in to cooler weather. We went “Leaf-Peeping” looking for fall colors up north near Flagstaff. It was a little early for the richer red and orange trees to turn, but the aspens were bright.

We got tips from Brendan’s speech therapist about a nice trail to follow.

The boys discovered this giant lean-to style shelter. I have no idea who made it or how long it has been there!

\"551bt09\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I took a break and watched the trees. It is mesmerizing the way aspen leaves flutter in the wind.

Bill and the boys climbed up some giant rocks.

\"551bt11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can still see you guys!
\n\"551bt12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor takes a break
\n\"551t05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tickling grass
\n\"551t06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We initially went the wrong way, but the views were so awesome
\n\"551bt13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you see Bill carrying both boys again?
\n\"551bt14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551bt15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Balancing!
\n\"551t07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is where the trail opens up on to the giant meadow

Another giant shelter

Mean Mommy wouldn’t carry Brendan, I made him walk all the way downhill to the tiny lake.
\n\"551b02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Humphrey’s Peak from the meadow, plus can you spot Bill and Trevor?
\n\"551t09\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The moon was out!
\n\"551t10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551b03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor’s favorite thing – throwing rocks in water
\n\"551t11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551t12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He walked all the way around the “lake”
\n\"551t13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brendan eventually followed. There were better rocks on that side
\n\"551b04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551bt18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551bt19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551bt21\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551t15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551b05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the sun went down, Brendan got cold. (It was around 60 degrees) He had to borrow Mommy’s coat
\n\"551b06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"551b07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I scouted a pretty place for a portrait but I had seriously uncooperative boys. They were worn out and cold from hiking.
