Blake Family Reunion ~ Day 3

We started out this day with a hike to Stewart Falls. The people at Sundance say that very young kids can do this hike, so I figured I would be ok on it. I was completely wrong. This was a very hard hike for me with my blood count so low. Matt had to be carried most the way too, which I was no help in. When we reached the falls they were beautiful! We ate our picnic lunch and waded our feet in the falls for a bit, then headed back down the trail.

Looks like such a fun reunion. You have such a neat family! I always love to see pictures of all their cute kids.

I remember we hiked to Stewart Falls our last year of Girls Camp (when we stayed in the cabin by Sundance). Seems like you weren't able to come that year. It is pretty, but it's definitely not a paved nature walk. :)

Love the last picture of you and Brad. Your hair-cut is darling.
