We had a super fun Fall Break. We had thought about leaving town, but ended up deciding that it would be more fun and relaxing to all just take the long weekend off and have a staycation. It was great. We saw "Hotel Transylvania" (hilarious) and went swimming at the rec center (also very fun), and then even did some hiking and grilling with a few more Cardons. I didn't have the camera out for all of these things, in fact we even forgot it on the hike, but I did bring my phone and used it to document the fabulous scenery and cute kids.
Bells Canyon was a great hike, and I love finding places that are so close by that I have never been to. I will be going back to this one for sure.
Just getting started. My super awesome hikers.
This guy enjoyed his time in the pack and I love looking at his cute little face while I hike.
Turns out that Wyatt really is too big for the backpack now, so Caleb got a good workout on this hike for sure.
He did quite a bit of hiking as well, and only a little bit of tripping and falling.
The Reservoir.
At one point Caleb told the boys he would pay them $5 if they could throw a rock into the water which was probably 100 yards away. These guys will do about anything for a few bucks, so they were ready to try. Then as they were collecting rocks and walking back to this bench Gavin said, "So how much will you give me if I can get a rock in the herbivore from the bench?" We had lots of laughs at this and thought that maybe we have taught him a new word, but then when he was telling the story to Caleb's parents on Sunday, he said, "Dad was going to pay us if we could throw a rock in the meteor..." I guess we need to work on that one a bit more.
We had to carry a lot of sticks with us for miles, of course.
It was such a beautiful fall day and the weather and colors were perfect.

Hahaha...I love the reservoir/herbivore/meteor story. Too funny. It was fun to be at mom and dad's house when they skyped with the boys. You've got some funny kids.
