FUN TIMES

We are so fortunate to live so close to many beautiful mountains! On Saturday, we loaded up the kids- including Copper and drove into Springville. We then went to Little Caesars and got a pizza and bread sticks and then headed east. Destination = Hobble Creek Canyon. We drove up there and then pulled off at a little field. The cows had been there with evidence of cow pies and the grass being only a few inches tall- as opposed to the knee high grass we had just passed.

We got out our chairs and then enjoyed the cool evening and pizza. We could have used some soda to wash it down with, but forgot to bring some! The kids had a riot in the dirt and finding sticks to throw to Copper. We then went down to creek and played some more with Copper and sticks. Although she is great at fetching the sticks, she has no clue that she needs to bring them back to Scott. So after throwing 20 or more sticks in the water, we headed back to the jeep where Scott shot is bow and then his handgun.

Here are some pics from the evening. We had a blast and hope to do this more often. We already have next weekend scheduled for camping and 4-wheeling up Diamond Fork Canyon. Stay tuned for more posts!

Carrie was smiling and when I asked her to open her eyes, this is the picture I got!

Scott and Duncan eating some pizza.

Copper swimming in the creek, waiting for Scott to throw another stick.

Carrie hates any loud noises, so when she saw the gun come out-
her fingers went into her ears!

I really don't like this picture of me, but since I hardly have any with the kids,
I thought that I 'd put it in....

Duncan's overalls fell down, so Carrie was helping him put them back on- kind of. It was so cute- she kept saying "Lift your leg up Duncan", but his shoe kept getting stuck so Carrie just took them off.
******
Scott shooting his gun, and Copper having to be right next him. In fact she kept nudging Scott in the butt with her nose everytime he shot. It was really funny to watch.
******

Scott picked this flower. I've never seen anything like it- it's so beautiful!

Carrie playing with the arrows. She was a good helper to pull them out of the target, and then flail them around like batons.
