I read the book The Diary of Anne Frank in March. One of her entries talks about how much she missed nature. Feeling the sun on her face, not having a roof over her head, just being outside. After reading that, I was determined to take our family out in nature! We have so much of it here in Utah and we live close to some beautiful spots. So the weekend after reading that part of the book we went to Provo Canyon. The drive was beautiful. We found the perfect little park to play in and a river for the kids to throw rocks in and explore. It was a little chilly, but we enjoyed being outside.
And the kids were thrilled to play on a playground again.
They grinned the whole time.
We brought Isak's dump truck and he filled it up and dumped it out over and over again.
Kira just wanted to climb the steps and go down the slide. That's my 28.5 week belly.
Here's a view of the park.
Dump trucks +
Slides = happy children.
We threw rocks for a while.
And took a selfie. It was all fun and good, but we did have a sad incident. A boy grabbed a handful of rocks and threw them up in the air. One of the rocks hit Nels's sunglasses that he just bought 4 days before! It put a damper on the outing. We left shortly after.
The dad of the rock throwing boy, took this picture of us before the rock incident.
Overall, I am glad we got out and did something in nature. Can't wait for warmer weather!!
