Outings with Dad

Thanks to Amy for posting these photos so I can finally get around to writing about our outings. One recent Sat. I thought it would be the last nice Sat. of the fall, so we made time to go up the canyon. You can see the leaves were already down but it was nice and warm! The kids reminded me of our tradition of going to "the rock in the river."



Now David is too big to tell him that he can't get on it, too. Catherine took some really cool pictures of the river from the rock that you'll be seeing soon. At the playground by the campsite there was brand new wood chips! All the better for burying your brother and dumping on your dad's head.


On Oct. 25 the three older kids had their turn to go to a BYU football game. I picked UNLV because I thought it would be a blowout and essentially over at halftime so it wouldn't matter that we had to leave. Except it came down to the final play. But Emma and Spencer had it after the first drive. They remembered that LAST YEAR I had told them we could get hot chocolate. But in keeping with the nice warm weekends this fall, it was about 70 (I had to put sunscreen on them) so there was no one selling hot chocolate. That wasn't a good enough excuse for them, though. We left after watching the band at halftime. BYU won.


Catherine is really starting to understand the rules and likes to watch. She took this picture of us. She got to go to a game with just me earlier in the season - I'll post those photos when I get them off my phone.

Also, Spencer didn't get lost this time :)
Since I was wearing a hat, everyone decided they had to have a hat as part of their "gear," too. Even though the only one Emma could find was red
