Payson Lakes, Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, Payson, Utah
Now, swimming alongside fish and other pond animals can be a little yucky for me, so most of the time I just enjoyed the beautiful scenery and made sure the tots didn’t drown. But for a fun place to splash and play in the outdoors, Payson Lakes can’t be beat.
Stewart Falls Hike, Sundance Utah
When my niece came in town for a visit, I couldn’t help but take the tots on a hike in the mountains. We live near Sundance Mountain Resort and enjoy beautiful hiking trails nearby. One of my favorites is the Stewart Falls trail. We have yet to actually reach the falls, but the stream along the trail and the lush forest surrounding us makes this a favorite every year.
Little g is at the age where she wants to walk, but her tiny legs keep her pace excruciatingly slow. To remedy this I have to force her into the hiking pack. Wrestling her in is always a pain but once she’s strapped and we’re moving she’s happy enough.
On this hike we stopped for a bit to play by the stream. Just when I stopped to take a photo, little g stopped to have a snack. I hope it wasn’t anything toxic.
Black Ridge Reservoir, Herriman Utah
Other than the awkwardness of hauling beach chairs, a cooler, towels, toys and life vests to and from the car, the whole day was a great adventure. The tots and I enjoyed it and I’m sure you will too.
