Caleb had this morning off so we decided to drive 20 minutes up the canyon for a little hike. We went up to a small town called forest falls and hiked up and around the falls. It was really beautiful. It was also amazing to see the climate and terrain change. This town is in our ward boundaries and regularly gets snow! While we have a pleasant 68 -70 degree weather at our house they will have 30 or 40 degree weather. In the winter we often see people driving around our warm sunny town with a foot of snow on top of their cars. Anyway, it makes it a lot more lush and full of pine trees and some pretty fall colors. We had a really great adventure. The hike was no more than a mile total so Joshua was able to walk it all by himself and loved it. He collected rocks and sticks, and threw lots of things into the falls to watch them float away. Abigail rode in the backpack, but we let her out to help Joshua throw things in. The falls were really beautiful and big. There was one really tall one that fed into lots of smaller ones with cascading pools. Also everything was looking greener and prettier after our first real rain storm since last spring.
A few days ago we also went to our neighborhood park to practice Joshua's bike riding. I soon found out that it was next to impossible to help him get on his bike and manage the big hills and other obstacles while helping and watching Abigail on her trike. So we decided to climb trees and slide down the slide after about 10 minutes of bike riding. He did at least practice a little, but we need to wait for daddy or a much wider straighter path to attempt it again. Despite the bike riding problems we had a fun time and got some cute pictures.
