Saturday Morning Fynn and I got all ready to go so that when Jesse got home we could leave as soon as he got home to make it to Mom and Dad's for breakfast. And we made it just in time. Over breakfast we discussed the Christmas trip we've been contemplating taking together as a family this December. In the end we all decided on the TimeShare resort Mom and Dad have in Puerta Valarta. We are all excited about it. A little stressed about the airfare prices for 4 people, but it'll all work out because Jesse and I are going to work extra hours when we can to help pay for it.
Anyway, after that we all packed up and headed to the church field to play kickball. We played with 3 teams, each one taking turns up to kick. How we divided up into teams was making the 3 boys team captains and they got to pick their teams.
It was really fun to play kickball. It totally reminded me of my Elementary years.
Even more fun was the fact that the younger kids could play too
When we decided to call it quits on the game we all headed back to the house for naps. Haha well Jesse and Fynn needed a nap. Jesse had had a rough night at the station the night before so he was feeling it by this point. While he and Fynn napped everyone else played outside. We had some playing with the Slamo Ball game, the littles playing on the slip and slide, and the rest chilling and enjoying a moment to chill.
We ate a late lunch so around 5 we weren't feeling hungry yet. So with everyone finally awake we decided to go on a hike. Andrew picked the Willow Heights hike for us to do . It was up Big Cottonwood Canyon and it was only a mile up and a mile down. It was a really pretty hike. It took us longer than we thought but it was worth it. I loved hiking up through all the Aspen Trees.
These boys love hiking. And love hanging out with each other.
Cute little Fynnie and his never ending smiles of happiness.
At one point the trail leveled out and it was so open.
Not long after that we arrived at the top where the lake was.
So nice to be in the mountains with my family away from the world and see the beautiful creations that the Lord has created and given to us to enjoy.
This sweet boy. The whole time we were hiking he was picking every variety of flower he could to give me.
By the end I had double this amount and a variety of colors. I love his tender thoughtful heart. I'm a lucky mama.
We made it back home and cooked a scrumptious dinner that we all enjoyed around the campfire.
I can't help but post this picture of Fynn. With his blanket, biniki, little chair and that one foot sticking up, I can't help but want to eat him up. I just love this babe so much.
With the left over pizza dough we had from the night before, we all roasted dough over the fire with Jesse's wooded fire sticks he made.
Then we shot off all the fireworks we had. It was quite the show. Especially the areal ones.
It was really late at that point that we needed to get home. We still had church the next day that we needed to get up early for.
But what a day. And what fun memories we created today.
