Battle Creek Falls

Feeling a little bit stuck in the house, we decided to go out for a little hike near by. This was a fun little hike not too far from our house, with a nice waterfall at the end. The boys had a great time climbing on the rocks and getting close to the falls, feeling the cold spray of water. This is one of those hidden (well, to us anyway) places literally in your backyard that we have just discovered. I had read about it in the paper as an easy family hike, and the following week Dallin's Scout group hiked up there for an overnight campout. We have lived in the area for over 10 years and had never heard about this place. It makes me wonder what else we are missing out on out there. We also saw a small cave (hole in the rock to me) on the way up.

The First Days of Summer...

The first few days of summer were actually warm. Here is proof for all you Utahns who think the whole month of June has been rainy.

You can also tell that these pictures were taken during the first days of summer because our sorry little pool is up in the background. We were still in the process of discovering all the holes in the inflatable ring. Sadly, after at least 5 patches, we discovered it was just too far gone to save and had to be drained. Leon eventually took a razor blade to it and officially ended its life. You can also tell it's early in the summer since the lawn is actually mowed. With all the rain it is now long enough to braid and an overwhelming job to Leon.

Where Has June Gone?

So, it's June 24th and I've realized that I've not made any posts to my blog this whole month. It's not that we've been all that busy, just the opposite - lazy. There just doesn't seem to be anything of interest to post. But, that being said, I do have a bunch of pictures on the camera that I need to do something with. So, hang in there bloggers (both of you) - something new will be posted as soon as I get motivated to first find the camera.
