My new purchase

This is my new purchase from Deseret Bookstore....it was on sale and I didn't have to make it!!! I would've spent more $money$ if I made it myself. Yay for me and I LOVE IT!!!!

Red Rock

We went to Red Rock and found that we couldn't cross the road yet because it was covered in 13 inches of water, so we walked across it and before we got across we were numb from just below our knees (for Justin it was to his thighs) and down.

This is Justin on the hike up (we all hiked in our Crocs except for dad because he didn't want to be seen in the baby blue ones he had to borrow of Dani's).

Justin always wanted to be in "first place." This is Justin strategizing the best way to get past Grandpa=)

This is Brandon and our attempt to keep this white boy from getting a sunburn on his head by using one of Kobe's onesies=)

And this is what we did the whole way back down the hike....in the creek!

This is Justin and Grandpa going down.......

....and Kelli and Brandon. Brandon was a little dare devil and was up past his belly button a couple of times. He didn't think Kelli went fast enough =)

Tide Pools

We went to the Tide Pools out by where we used to live (remember the Rudy Studio?)

Here's Justin nervously picking up a big Sea Star

And here he is after many coaxings (word??) that they don't bite

And here is daring Grandpa with the big Horseshoe Crab we found

And the 3 Amigos afterwards =)

My Favorite Walk

This truly is why I live here!

I took the kids for a walk the other day along Shorline and down to the end of Stearns Wharf

(my favorite walk and it never gets old).

I snapped this picture in about 2 seconds and then put the camera away.

I was so excited when I got home that the 1 picture I took

was this one, and it turned out perfect!!

.....my small little digital camera and no enhancements needed,

it truly is beautiful!
