Fathers and Sons Campout

Nathan and I went on our first Fathers and Sons camp out up in Pine Valley. There wasn't much to do, but Nathan still had fun helping putting up the tent and sleeping in it.

Annie's kite accident

I took the kids to the park to fly kites today and Annie had a little accident with the kite. As Nathan was flying the kite it lost control and the string clothes-lined  Annie right in the face and the wrapped around her. It gave her this nasty burn mark across her face. The pictures don't do it justice, it looks a lot worse in person. She kind of looks like an Apache indian.  

Fun with Walter

The kids love Uncle J's new puppy dog Walter. Nathan loved running around with him. He wants a picture of Walter in his room. The picture with Annie with the tennis ball on her face is her saying cheese.

Cabin Photos

Here are some of the photos we took of the kids at the cabin. It was raining most of the time so we had to spend a lot of time inside. Although, we did see the moose.



This is how we had to give the kids their baths, because they will not take showers at the cabin.

Day out with Thomas

Today we went to the Day Out with Thomas at the Heber Valley Railroad. It was really fun. Nathan has been talking about it for a month now, and when the time came to go up he got a little nervous and didn't want to go. But once he saw Thomas he was really excited. He really like the tent with all the toy trains and tracks in it. He played in there for quite awhile.  He got a new backpack at the gift shop which he wore around all day. The train ride was fun and we saw two deer.

More hiking photos

Here are more photos from our hike at Red Cliffs. I really like the picture with both of them. This was at the top of the Lookout point trail.

Red Cliffs

I took the kids on another hike on Saturday. We went to the Red Cliffs Recreation Area in Leeds. It has a lot of cool trails with rivers and waterfalls. The kids hiked really hard and they fell right to sleep when we got home. 

Splash Pad

We have been going to all of the splash pads more often now that it is hot outside.  We went to the Hidden Valley park on Friday, they both had lots of fun. Annie is very brave on all of the playground equipment. She climbs things that Nathan still will not do. 

New Sunglasses

Stef bought the kids new sunglasses the other day, and the kids think they are pretty cool in them. This is Annie's first pair she has ever had.
