We have been working on our house (post to come later) and just so busy we haven't gotten away to do anything fun with our kids for a while. I just wanted to go somewhere and play outside for a while and hike around. Saturday we had a few things we needed to get done in the morning but not lots else after that. Bruce and I decided a place we used to like to go when we lived in Payson was East Verde so decided to go there.
The water was chilly but didn't stop Tylinn and Kaylee from getting in. Actually right after I took this picture Kaylee fell in.
These girls were trying really hard to cross. They took their shoes, socks, and pants off and just decided they were going to do it. Since Kaylee has such a nice sister to help her they both finally made it acrossed.
We had fun taking a few family pictures. We were enjoying ourselves and a couple of carloads of Mexicans showed up and were everywhere so we got out of there!
This little tree was growing in the rocks. These kids took pity on it and made a little dam around it and gave it some extra water.
Bridget and I went back to check on the van and Bruce and the other kids hiked a bit higher.
A couple of years ago LeAnne posted about a fun dinner they had and I always wanted to do it but I don't know that there has been a time in the last 2 years that our family has all been to the grocery store. We didn't want to do it in town because everything is way too expensive!
Anyway Rhett, Dustin, and Tylinn were in charge of 2 sides for Sunday dinner. They got French fries and a veggie plate.
Kaylee and Bridget were doing dessert. They wanted Éclair Dessert.
And Bruce and I in charge of meat. We decided on Wings. I grabbed a loaf of French bread to go along with it.
So everybody headed out to get their assignment and we see what kind of a meal we end up with. Well it was our Sunday meal today and it was delicious!! It was much needed so fun family time. Hope we can do it again soon!
