Palisade Falls

Before I blog about our family reunion in Utah and our trip to Kansas, I will do a blog on something a little more recent! Last night, Dustin, Jack, Chewie, and I went for a little hike up to Palisade Falls up Highlite Canyon. Jack loves water and he seemed to enjoy watching the water, touching the water, listening to the falls, feeling the mist coming off the falls, and just being outside. Chewie did impressively well on the hike up but eventually got pretty tuckered out and rode in the storage area on the bottom of the stroller. (He usually ends up there on most of our walks we take him on! It looks pretty funny and cute!) Anyway, it was fun little Sunday outing, and it was fun to be outside in this beautiful canyon and enjoy the beautiful weather and the beautiful surroundings! Here are some pictures from our outing:

Jack just had to try a drink out of Daddy's fancy water pack!



Daddy let Jack have an icy when we got home! He certainly enjoyed it!

HEATHER! How are you? First off, I am sorry your name was not on my blog. I swear I added it and don't know why it wasn't on there. Don't worry it is now. I have been following your blog ever since Jack was born but have never had a blog of my own, so I haven't made any comments. He is the most adorable kid ever! I'll bet you guys are so proud. I really am so lucky to be able to do what I am doing. I am living my dream life, that is for sure. When I went to Salt Lake, I had never even been on an airplane and now in the last 3 years I have been on 3 cruises, to New York and D.C., and to San Diego. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, but it is so expensive to fly here that I have never been able to. I decided being a school teacher I have my summer off and so I might as well enjoy it. I got my 2 best friends from high school talked into going with me and another girl and we are seriously having so much fun. I never want this summer to end. We have done some crazy things since we have been here but I am living it up. Skydiving was truly the coolest thing I have ever done in my life. I wish I could do it again but it is so expensive it is a once in a lifetime thing I am afraid. Well, I am writing a novel but it was so good to hear from you and keep in touch. I love looking at your blog. You have such a cute little family.
