Plane Ride
Monday July 3: We all went to Big Cottonwood Canyon. We walked part of the way around Silver Lake and some hiked to Lake Mary. The unique things about this trip to Silver Lake was the snow and climbing the rocks. Charlotte and Kate hadn't seen snow since before they were two and Victoria had never seen snow.
