At the beginning of August we took the boys up to the Hatch House for the weekend. We were lucky to have Grandma Carma join us.
THE RODEO
While there the boys attended their FIRST rodeo. As expected, Skyler was very interested in the sport, while Connor played around on the bleachers.
A little story behind this picture. Skyler is wearing his Aztec Warrior Hat that he made at daycare. He loved this hat, and wore it until it fell apart... you will see it falling apart in the pictures below. And he is holding a purple rectangular key chain that he called his camera. The boys kept playing with it, and saying, "Cheese!"
Trying to get as much use out of our Park Pass, we went in to Bryce for a few short hikes and look out points.
After the wonderful sights, we stop in the little Bryce town to look around and get the boys some ice cream. Which was a huge mess! They had fun walking around and seeing the wagons.
It is so fun to see them on this horse and in the jail....I have pictures from when I was a kid in these same places. If I can find them, I will post them as well. Just kind of fun to see them doing the exact same things that I did when I was a kid and we would go to Hatch.
THROWING ROCK IN THE RIVER
Any time there is a chance to throw rock in a river, we simply MUST take it. We actually went a few times, they boys enjoy it so much. The first time, Connor fell in the river. I think the ground just gave way under him, and he slid right in. Fortunately it was in a place that the current wasn't strong enough to do anything, and it wasn't too deep. But once he was in, he couldn't get out himself.....because of the current. He just looked up at me scared to death...it was actually kind of funny. Afterward he thought so too!
Eventually the boys figured out hitting rocks with sticks, which is now their new thing. They don't quite have the hang of it, but they are certainly trying!
