Sycamore Canyon

Today we hiked into Sycamore Canyon. It was about 6 miles, we crossed 2 rivers, thank goodness for the 2 older boys, they were such a huge help getting all the little kids across. So today we hiked, cliff jumped, swam, played in the mud, Spencer threw a lot of rocks into the water, they shot bows, rode on polarises, played baseball, roasted hot dogs, then marshmallows. After the smores we called it a day. We got home around 9:15. Threw the kids, who of course were asleep by the time we got home, into the shower. Then got them into bed, but not without a meltdown from each of them. Spencer was ticked off about, well everything. Eliza just needed someone to get up to her room and tuck her in, RIGHT AWAY. And Dallin, well he didn't feel well at all, and was positive something was very wrong. Over all a great fun day.   

 Spencer loves being outside, every time I turn around he is off to explore something new. He was running through the mud trying to keep up with the older kids. He spent most of his time gathering up rocks, and sticks to throw into the river.

 Hallie always takes such good care of Spencer she was blowing bubbles for him back at the camp. When Eva tried to take them away from him, she let her know they were not hers and to leave Spencer alone.

 Eliza and Sophie, they make me laugh. They played make believe the whole hike.

 Target practice with their bows and arrows. Of course this was another highlight of the day for Dallin.

 Spencer loved to pretend he was driving the Polaris. Couldn't keep him out of there.

 Obviously it is time to go home and to bed.
