First Day of School!

First day of school for E and W! W is in 2nd grade and E is in 1st! Of course it had to be a rainy day, so they needed jackets, but oh well :)

R had to get in on the action too, even though she won't start for a couple years.

School!

Camping in Provo Canyon

We decided to have a little camping trip before school started up again. This time we just kept it close and went to Provo Canyon. It rained on us, but it made it that much more fun. ;)

Of course we couldn't leave the puddles alone!

The next morning we walked down to Bridal Veil Falls and played a bit too.

Torrey

We went to Torrey the weekend after our big hike. I always forget to take pictures, so I don't have any of the cabin or Torrey itself really, but we went to the playground there and I tried to get some of all the kids. They turned out pretty cute ;) Love the last one on the duck. ;)

Park City To Provo

So, Will and I were able to backpack all the way from my parent's house in Summit Park, Park City, (which is the house I grew up in), all the way to our own front door here in Provo. It was about 65 miles total in 4 days. Pretty crazy. It ended up being incredibly difficult and there were times when I really didn't think I was going to make it all the way. In those times of immense pain, I had one solution that helped me to continue: IBUPROFEN. For real, I never would have made it without it. As hard as it was though, it was incredibly rewarding and beautiful. I have some pics below, but if you want a real Trip Report go HERE and read my husband's :) He is WAY more thorough than I have time to be. ;)

Ruth Lake

We took the kids on their first backpacking trip to Ruth Lake. They did so good! Unfortunately we only were able to stay one night since 'L' boy's ear infection came back and he had a miserable night :( Anyways, they still had fun.

Happy Birthday!

'L' boy had his second birthday! He is so big! He loved his Elmo cake!

Lake Mary

We took the kids on a mile hike up to Lake Mary above Brighton. They made it and had fun! Here's some cute pics of them :)
