Last weekend we hiked the slot canyons at Spring Creek near Kanarraville. The first part of the hike wasn't very scenic, and we crossed back and forth over the creek a dozen times. I was nervous that we'd have another falling in the water episode, but fortunately we all stayed dry. After a mile or two (Tige says it was only about a mile--I'd swear it was at least 2) we reached the slot canyon, which was a beautiful area with the creek running through it. There was still a little snow, and lots of big animal tracks. Kason & Tige both carried hiking sticks, and Kason kept hitting his on the rock and saying "Calling all animals!" I slathered Abby with sunscreen, but she stared up at the sun the whole time, and she got a tiny bit sunburned right underneath her eyes where the sunscreen didn't get close enough to her eye. Next time I'll do a better job. She was an angel on the hike. It was a beautiful day, a nice hike, and fun time spent together.

The boys and their sticks.I think it's cute how their bodies lean just the same.
I love my boys.

Fuji Apple Crisps! My favorite. Now I'm definitely going to come visit your house.
"Calling all animals!" That's hilarious.
julie i love looking at your blog! you are such an adventurous fun family and such a creative mom! i have a lot to learn from you when it comes to keeping two kids so well entertained. i'm afraid sesame street has become our new best friend--and i can't imagine it will get a whole lot better when i am trying to juggle two. anyway- keep up the good work and posts!
You tell Kason Aunt Teina and Uncle Calvin (and Possibly Pot) will have to take him on a hike during Easter. I know the perfect place! *If it's alright with Dad... and you two*
What a great family activity. Doing things together will make strong family ties. Keep up the good work. What would Kasson done it a big bear showed up.
Kudos for hiking with the kids. My kids are so wimpy, I didn't dare take them hiking until recently. I take that back, Belle is a trooper, Cole is a wimp. Nice job with the pipe cleaners! How did your brother get a red head?
