Silver Lake Loop

On Friday Kim and I took all five boys up Big CottonWood Canyon for a picnic lunch and walk around Silver Lake. It was so fun seeing the boys run down the trail and straight through puddles, "fish" with sticks they found and explore. The boys love to go hiking, even though these days it is more like a nature walk! They wore themselves out and slept all the way down the mountain!

Albion Basin Hike

Four moms and eight kids, ranging in age from 6 months to 5 years old, hiking a round trip of 2 miles can make for an adventure! There were a few tears along the way, but overall a very fun day! Makes for a good night sleep!

Raspberry Patch

I took the boys to a raspberry patch in Payson last night and we picked a couple of pounds of berries. I probably owed a little more for all of the samples the boys were eating during the picking! This morning Hudson said that berry picking is his favorite activity...

Butterfield Canyon Adventure

This morning I borrowed the Cox's truck and trailer and loaded up the boys and Cooper to head up Butterfield Canyon. It is starting to feel a little funny to pack Bristol on my back with my growing mid-section, so my idea was to have Bristol ride the pony and Hudson and Cooper walk. It worked out pretty well! This was also baby Sylvester's first trailer ride and mountain experience. He did an awesome job. We hiked up the canyon and had a picnic lunch and then played in the creek for awhile before hiking back. The boys really wore themselves out because they are both napping as I am typing this!

Cooper and Bristol were dipping their heads in the creek to cool off. Oh to be a kid again!

Ruth Lake and Family

We were fortunate enough to have Brian's sister and family come visit us this weekend. It is always so much fun to get the cousins together! We had a blast doing pony rides, sand volleyball, hike to Ruth Lake, looking at wildflowers, guys golfing and splash park! Here are some of the pictures from Ruth Lake.

Fun with Cousins and Pony

The boys really enjoy the pony and getting pony rides, however, not in the same way Melanie enjoyed the pony. She was wispering "I love you" to Blossom.... too cute!
