sylvan lake

we had some friends, aly, shane & emma, visiting for a wedding last weekend & decided to take advantage of the beautiful day & head up to sylvan before the wedding for a hike & picnic...in hindsight it wasn't the best decision to try and fit everything in to one day...but oh well! we got a late start after a big breakfast & made it up there just before noon. the boys wanted to head out on their bikes so the ladies, 2 little ones included, decided to hike around the lake (that was my idea). let me just say, it doesn't look like it would take that long to hike around & it probably doesn't, if you are prepared.
we had a toddler, kennedie - who wanted to lead the pack, an almost 1 year old - in a stroller & 3 adults - cake right...well, having never actually walked around the lake before, i was unaware that the trail wasn't the wide, level trail it is near the campsites...
let's just say it took us about an hour to get around the lake, it was far more challenging than we had imagined & we had time constraints - so no picnic took place, but we did get to take in some beautiful mountain scenery & lots of fresh air plus the great company of family & friends :)

she made it about 1/2 way :) auntie t.t. & mommy helped her the rest of the way

why are there no pictures of the people i say went with us...they were there i promise - we didn't get many group photo ops b/c of our rush to get around the lake before we had to leave!!
