A Week of Hiking

We decided to do a little hiking this week to get out of the house. Our kids love to go to the Grotto, so one night after we ate dinner we went up there. It is a very easy hike. The kids always like to play in the waterfall and it is only a few minutes up the canyon. 

We had also seen another place up the canyon called Salamander pond on one of my friend's blogs, so we decided to be adventurous and try to find it even though we couldn't find out where it was from anyone.  So this morning we got our backpacks and water and decided to head out.  We got up the canyon and followed the trail and GPS for what seemed a long time.  We never found our destination.  We had a fun hike, even though our 2 youngest didn't wear hiking shoes and have blisters for not listening.  It was fun and we enjoyedour little adventure.  We think we finally know where it is at and are going to try it out again another weekend.

Summer T-Ball

I have been a blog slacker. I haven't posted anything since I had my surgery and realized how many things of my kids I haven't posted. So here are some things that are from awhile back but needed put on. 

Tyler played t-ball this summer and had a good time.  He goofed off a lot, but he had a lot of fun and had a coach that taught him a lot.  They got to start coach pitch after the first 2 weeks and that was good for them to get used to. 

He would get so excited when he would get a hit off of his coach. It took him quite awhile to get the confidence to hit the ball and not back away. It is so fun to watch them learn new things!

Waiting his turn, he thought it was cool to have a backwards cap.
