Cascade Springs

A few summers ago (actually 11 - yikes!), my friend Brooke and I spent a considerable amount of time in Heber City. On one of our visits there, we went to Cascade Springs. Cascade Springs is a beautiful place. This is a picture from that day. If you look closely, you'll see that I haven't aged at all (I wish). Actually, if you look closely you'll see that cameras have come a long way in the past 11 years.

Last week, I went to Brooke's house and we took our little tykes up there for a picnic and some kid-friendly hiking (walking trails). It was a perfect day and the kids had a great time. Cole is always excited to see Brooke's little boys, and now they are old enough to play along with him.

Here's a shot of all four of our kids. The best one of the day - they weren't exceptionally cooperative for pictures (especially Cole and Jackson). We took this picture in the same spot as the one of us above - but for obvious reasons, we made them stay by the rock wall and not climb over it and out onto the rock in the water.


My little flower girl. I know I'm partial, but could she be any cuter? She picked dandelions to share with Carter and Jackson.

Annie's favorite part of being there was all the explanatory signs. She stopped to touch each one and would point to the letters on it and say, "A - C - N - R..."

This is the only shot of Cole smiling...and of course his eyes are closed. He and Grandpa Clair must share some strange genetic trait!

Thanks for going with us, Brooke and boys. We had a great time. Cole can't wait to come back.
