When we got up there Steph was very ready to go hike up the trail that Grandma Kathy built for the association. We were still trying to get ready and she was outside peeking in yelling "lets go!"
OK, Ok! Grandma is getting her shoes on so we can go!
Steph was waiting "impatiently" while we were getting the four wheelers out of the shed. She sat on the bench getting a little irratated with us slow people!
We rode up to where the footpath started. We knew a storm was coming but we were going to go up the trail anyway. Steph was determined to do it no matter what! It could have been snowing and she still would have done it.
So we hiked the trail winding up through the mountains until we got to the picnic area.
Sam was having fun taking me and Moms pictures while we were goofing off. Here is just a couple that she took. (There were alot more crazy ones!)
Steph wanted to hike up even higher, but we could here the thunder not to far off. So we decided to head back down. It's a good thing we did too. On the way down the trail it started to rain. By the time we got back to the four wheelers it was a down pour. We decided we would wait out the storm under the pavilion. So me mom and Sam hid under the pavilion, but Steph would have none of that! She stayed out in the rain and was swinging on the swing.
The she still refused as the rain even got harder to come under the pavilon. She went and sat on a bench in the rain! Like I said, it could be snowing and it still wouldn't bother her!
We got back to the cabin and I hadn't brought extra clothes for Steph, so she had to put on some of Grandma Kathy's sweat pants that came clear up to her neck. We hung her wet clothes by the fire to dry. We should have hung Steph up by the fire to dry also!
While it was raining hard and hailing. We had a fun game of Yahtzee.
Then Sam took up her normal position curled up in front of a TV watching Disney Channel!
Steph worked on her rocks that have been tumbling in our garage for the last month and a half polishing. (If you have walked by our house you could probably here that thing going in our garage and have wonderd what in the heck is that noise!). Any hoo she brought them up to make jewelry out of them.
Our plan was to go crawdad fishing, but the weather would just not let up so we went for a ride around the cabin retreats. It was a nice ride. The girls of course fell asleep! It's amazing what a long ride will do for them.
All around the cabin where these cute little critters running around. There were probably about 20 of them that we could see just around the cabin. Can I bring one home for Jack to play with?
About 5:30 I decided with the weather and all it was probably time to head for home. The ride home was nice also. I was enjoying the scenery so much. Fairview Canyon is such a pretty canyon. We did hit a big storm about Moroni. Kurtis had called and warned us it was coming but it was still relaxing. We all had a great time.
