Breath Taking


yesterday's words:
Hands & Clapping: we were reading a little boy book that shows pictures of each. He gets things so much more easily when they are simple.

Today's words:
Hammer- carrying around Paul's hammer, it was his fun toy for the day.

Memorial Day was still quite cold and rainy. Five days of rain is a little too much! The sun started to come out around 5:00. We decided to go up in to the mountains, I had heard about a waterfall in Provo Canyon and thought that would be nice to go to. So we got subway, their five dollar footlong subs. We ordered three of them for all five of us and got drinks at the gas station, a 64 oz root beer and headed up there. It was so pretty, and I forgot my camera. It was a bit chilly, a good thing that we all had our jackets. We got out of the car and found a slab of concrete to sit on across from the waterfall and ate our dinner. Alona had a six inch tuna, of which was gone about 1-2 inches, Abbi and Kacen each had a three inch grilled chicken with ranch. Kacen ate all of his sandwich and Abbi gave me her sandwich with the last few bites. She would have eaten her sandwich I swear she would have had she not caught a glimpse of the chocolate chip cookies.
The waterfall was breath taking, we watched others climb almost all the way to the top. Alona wanted to go too! We took her part way and then back down, stepping on the dry rocks where the water didn't flow so deep or so rapidly.We went back and played at the park for awhile before racing daddy home and getting ready for bed. Abbi loves under dog and being pushed high, she wanted daddy to give her his attention and push her after Kacen had his turn, he was such a giggly little boy. Alona wouldn't come inside the house at first because Dad had beaten her inside, but Paul went out the back door and around to where Alona was and raced her back in and she won. What a happy girl and a great dad!

Wow! $5 footlong?? They're about $8 here. :(

What a cool idea for an inexpensive family outing. :)

Did you get the diapers for Kacen?

I want more of that food :(

it was very cold, and my pains had come back so I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have, but I'm still happy that we got to go!

I love you! :)
