5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

5 - number of dogs present on our walk up Millcreek today (Abbie, Day-Z, Lady, Timber and Bella.)
4 - number of boys 4 and under on our walk up Millcreek (Dylan, Bryson, Tyler, Isaac.)
3 - number of gals on our walk up Millcreek today (Julie, Holli and me.)
2 - number of A-holes on the trail today (one was a jackass who passed us on his bike and said "this canyon's for bikes!" Sorry dude, not so. Second was a lady who bitched out this guy who was working up the canyon for feeling threatened by his vehicle which was traveling approximately 3 mph. awesome.)
1 - number of times I had to pick up dog poo with a grocery bag. Awesome considering there were five dogs there. suh-weet!

We all had a great time today. For those of you who are unaware (I was unaware until Julie informed me early June,) when you drive up Millcreek Canyon, the road is closed about halfway up the canyon until July 1st. This means that until then, you can drive up to the gate, and if you have strollers or small kids, you can still enjoy a "hike" up the canyon, following the river the whole way up, while using the paved road vehicle free. There are picnic sites along the entire walk as well. You can also bring dogs up there leash free on odd days. I know it's too late to enjoy this little venture on the paved road this year, but there is always next year! If you don't have strollers or small kids to tote around, Millcreek is one of my favorite places to hike all year round! I can't wait until Isaac is big enough to use in one of those baby backpacks.
Julie and Holli, it was awesome hanging out with you today up there! :)

Here are some photos Julie took of us all today.

Right after his nap so that he'd be a happy boy up Millcreek. Notice how long and elegant my neck looks? hehe. Not really, half of that is my chin, I am trying to get my face out of the photo.
Isaac and I before Millcreek today.

and to think that I sometimes complain about how heavy my ONE 16 pound baby is to carry for extended periods...

Bryson and Dylan (Trevor, Holli's other son, was at school - yes, 4 boys total. That's a lot of work!)
The lil' ones. Tyler and Isaac are 11 months apart.
