Veyo Utah

Every time we visit Aunt Julia, we have too; we have too visit Crawdad Canyon in Veyo!

The kids are absolutely obsessed with this place! I believe that it is the best kept secret, that i know about!  ;) haha

There are wood and rope bridges all around, a few camping spots, creek, endless amount of crawdads,  repelling and climbing areas, zip-line,  restaurant and a huge hot springs swimming pool!

What fun right!?!! ;)

They love going and love hanging out with their cousin's!  =D

The ice cream was good and the crawdads were huge!

Levi enjoyed hanging out with Mina and her friend Camryn and got the 'hugest crawdads ever';  Kalaya, Trevor, Aurora and Amelia were having a good together!

Bayden enjoyed reapplying sunscreen and eating or 'melting' his ice cream!  Haha

Aunt Julia was voted the 'best work horse' ever, for hauling around twins during this chaLlenging experience!  (I can't believe i didn't take a picture of them in their cute hats! :P. Next time for sure; )

*Cheers to the best mom's ever!  :)

Lake time!

The kids want to do fun outdoor adventures, as do I! I want my kids to love the outdoors --》instead of being couch potatoes!  ;) so i have learned that most of the time these adventures have to be done without Reed!  This is one of those times! 

To quickly summarize this high energy outing,  please read below.

This adventure consisted of a cooler full of drinks and some snacks; someone begging her sister to join, a Huge group of individuals finding a dead Beaver (who lived a full life), a kayaking portal (pick-up) & a 'huge beachball rescue for the 4th time' ( so grateful for a Levi and Emma, sigh).

Adventure Highlights:
The road to the lake has allot of 'tummy tickling' bumps,  seeing a beaver's tail, seeing 3 kayakers up close,  fearless Kalaya swimming in that 'murky' water, brave Emma and Levi keeping track of ' that oversized ball (a miracle)!

*I am so thankful for these fun kids in my life. Yes there were a couple stressful moments,  but everyone is alive and fully bathed now!  ;)

Hahaha =)

Bayden's Birthday 5/13

We had a fun time climbing the 'Hole in the Rock' by the Phoenix Zoo.

It was pretty warm experience,  but it was our only other option because I didn't realize that the Zoo closes so early:/ so we were slightly forced to check this place out! !;)

Daddy showed us around and reminisced about his old days; He thought that it was especially crazy how much land corrosion has happened since his last visit. Also, stating and pointing "How he used to climb up that and that; being crazy and dumb."

After eating our fabulous 'to-go' TacoBell dinner we had lovely cupcakes with Candles. (He had no clue on how to blow these things out)

Then it was present time, which our Bayd wasn't really into; he was more interested in the water, taking his clothes off and running around. Haha, good times: the Kids thought that he was such a 'crack up'!

We love his NATURE,  he is a treat to have in our family!
