Last Saturday when Andy came down for the weekend we all went to Capitol Reef for the day. It was incredible weather! High seventies, gorgeous skies, pretty leaves, scenery! We all had a lot of fun.
Andy and I even got to hike me carrying Annika and Andy carrying Caleb. We kept them in the backpacks there and back (it was only 2 miles or so, but steep) until about the last quarter mile where we let Caleb out to play.
Of course he plopped down right where he was and started to dig in the dirt. We had to stay there for a long time.
Finally I went ahead to find a place by the water. I ran back and told him about it and he took off running. I wish I'd gotten a video of him running! It's so cute! He threw sticks, dirt and leaves into the water and also got too close and fell in. Luckily Andy was right there and caught him and I ran back to the car for the change of clothes we'd packed. However, his shoes still stink and I think I'm going to have to buy new ones. Darn. Annika also ate as much dirt and as many leaves as she could get her hands on...
These are pictures Caleb took. Not bad for just shy of 2 1/2. :)
We also went and looked at the old pioneer house and the horses. On the way home we stopped at Mom's Cafe in Salina which has been visited by, surprisingly, a few famous people. The food was good but heavy--old fashioned meat and potatoes kind of place. Caleb and Annika got baths that night. :)

Great pictures! I like that tree-vine-looking thing your standing by, what is that? I've obviously never been there.
Fun! We haven't taken our kids to Capitol Reef. We did take them to Moab, but Ashton was a baby and the other ones barely remember it. Sadly, I think I take our amazing "local" sites for granted.
jt looks like beautiful weather. I hate the cold, and I'm definately ready for it to be warm again. Looks like it was a fun trip.
And, i notice you are growing out your hair! i think you have such pretty hair, I always wanted darker hair...
