Water, water everywhere

Kate's preschool had a water party the day after graduation. Don't be too jealous all you Utah people. In a few weeks we will be dying and you will be enjoying beautiful weather, hiking and a read 4th of July

Kate's Preschool Graduation

Pictures in the car before we left. We were running late and I didn't get the traditional "pose for the camera before the event" pictures.


Kate's cute hair. I can't believe I did that.

The march





She told us later she will be a professional dancer and not a washed up star. She will dance with Derek Hough (who will be a washed up star by then)




Kate wouldn't tell me she was going to give the closing prayer. She wanted it to be a surprise.

Free Tickets


John got free tickets to a Diamond Back Game. We haven't gone since THIS game. We had a more fun this time.







The kids showing off their impeccable table manners.

I swear this kid is part python

Discoveries

We have been meaning to get out and explore the outdoorsy stuff in the area. We had heard there was good hiking trails in the "mountains", but we were skeptical. Hiking on those barren rocky hill thingies? Really?

We finally decided to get out and try it. We were, oh, so, pleasantly surprised.

This is the Waterfall trail in the White Tank Mountains, about a half hour from our house. There was no waterfall when we went, but if you went in the middle of a rainstorm there probably would be. The kids loved it, and Jonas even walked the whole 2 miles.
