Albion Basin

Today we wanted to go hangout with Jen's family, but the weather kind of scared us off.  Well, we couldn't just sit at home, so we decided to go check out Albion Basin.  It's up Little Cottonwood Canyon, and my friend Becky had just been up there, and made it sound really fun. There are two ski resorts up this canyon and Big Cottonwood.
The Wildflowers were amazing.  They were everywhere.  There wasn't much sun, because it was overcast, and down right chilly really.  I think it was only 45 degree's according to our Truck :)
The girls and I.  Elle was not really excited about sitting in the flowers at first.  We'd just gotten there, and she wanted Daddy to carry her.  
We ate some lunch, that we had packed with us, and then headed off to walk through the Campgrounds and check it out.  It's totally amazing up there.  The Ski Lifts, so right through the Campgrounds etc..  
Bree wants to go back there to camp.  But this might just have to be a tent trip?  We'll have to wait and see.  
The views were amazing!
Daddy and the girls :)
Elle!       

She absolutely LOVES to be outside.  Any chance she gets to be outdoors, she is loving life!      
We stopped at one of the empty Campsites, and she crawled all over the logs at the Campfire, and sat in the dirt of course.
Mommy and Elle :)  
One of the many many little friends, we saw along our walk.
Well, we're just about to head home, and we snagged someone to take a family picture for us!
Looking back down the Canyon, into the Salt Lake Valley :)  Wow!  It was a great time.  Too short.  Bree wanted to stay, but we had to head back.  Maybe we'll end up there again someday soon.

Looks like fun! It was a very CHLLY day wasn't it? I am glad you are out scouting locations. It is always nice to have somewhere new to visit.

You are quite the travelers. I'll call you when we need new ideas for camping.
