Picnic and Hike at El Dorado Canyon

Some friends of ours, Kelly and Miguel Zuniga, invited us to visit El Dorado Canyon today. We set up our picnic along the river's edge and used the cold water to cool our drinks. Obviously the cold water didn't deter Ethan from playing in it. What a great way to spend the last weekend of summer. The surroundings were beautiful, and we had a great hike. We were impressed with how long Ethan hiked. He wanted to continue going, but we were afraid he would get tired and want us to carry him down the mountain. There were some pretty steep parts of the hike so we didn't think it would be a good idea to try to carry him.
