Family Fun

We went on a little family trip out today we found a very cool trail that took us through some crazy beautiful land. Anyways we got tired and had tons of fun. The dog and Emma just about gave out on us but you can't blame em it was pretty hard hiking for a four year old and a puppy. Kenzie takes after her dad and raced us all to the top and won of course Josh had to stay behind to drag me and carry Emma and the dog.

This picture is right on a seriously high drop off into the grand canyon needless to say I was not super comfortable with Kenzie sitting so close.

PUPPY!!!

So we were pretty devastated when BT got stolen from our yard and the kids have been begging for another dog. So we looked on KSL and found this puppy in Delta, ut. She is sooo cute and the kids love her hopefully I can train her since Josh is gone all the time.

Hike from Heck!!!

Our truck was parked on top of this point.

So Josh decided to take us on a SMALL hike so we headed off and immediately I knew I would regret the choice to come. He drove to what looked like a ledge that went about a mile but assured us that is me and the kids we would be able to get down no problem, and we did. Emma and McKenzie slid on their bums most of the way while Josh and I with Taylor in the backpack had to walk sideways so we didn't slide to our deaths. The whole time going down this very steep hill I knew eventually I would have to walk back up but I tried not think about such things. Anyways we got to the bottom Josh took us to a spring where there was water hole and the kids got naked and played in the water for awhile it was really beautiful and tons of fun but then we had to walk back. I decided Kenzie and I would go ahead because I kew I would need ample rest time what a mistake she is just like Josh. The whole time she practically ran up this cliff and every time I tried to rest she would say " Just make it 20 more feet mom and we will rest" I wanted to smack her for being so tuff. We all made it to the top even Emma who is only 4 walked the whole way we were super proud. Next week we are going on another hike hopefully i survive.
