Brighton Lakes Trail - August 2011

We had so much fun last weekend we decided to go hiking again. Lake Mary is on the Brighton Lakes Trail. This one was a little tougher then last weekend.




The hike does have several steep areas. Everyone did great with very little grumbling.





James was sick for about three days last week. He said his legs hurt. Kamn ended up carrying him most of the hike.
Hayden carried Matthew in the backpack during the entire hike. Thanks Hayden, you are a great big brother!










As you can see the sun is going down as we are hiking back. Hayden is still carrying Matthew. He has gone up ahead of the rest of us. As he continues, crossing the path is a very young moose. Hayden quickly thinks, baby...mother, I'm in trouble. Suddenly he starts back tracking quickly. That's when I notice the baby moose and the mother. Luckily Hayden is gaining distance from the moose. Remember he is carrying my baby!


We ended up having to wait several minutes for the moose to cross our path and move along until it was safe to continue hiking down the mountain.




We enjoyed seeing the animals, beautiful mountains, the lake, and the exercise.
