Springtime Fun

As the weather starts to warm up every year, we start to explore more than our backyard. We are fortunate enough to live only a half mile from the Provo River Parkway, and from there we can go West a mile and a half to Utah Lake, or East one mile to a giant swing that is along the trail. Andres and Daniel have taken the trail all the way up Provo Canyon to Vivian Park. (15 miles!) This picture shows Daniel on the swing and just how high up the branch is.

The river is just a few yards away from the swing, and it is a little calmer there. So, I go down with the kids and let them throw rocks into the river as long as there are no fishermen about. They get pretty ornery about stuff like that.

Here is little Kinsey. She is so fun! She has started to laugh, but only at Erica. In this photo you can tell that her right eye is alittle droopy. I had her into the Dr. yesterday, and he suggested that I take her to the eye doctor. He says that it is probably nothing serious, but sometimes kids need surgery for it. He reffered me to Dr. Abrams and said that he is the best for babies and little kids, but that his bedside manner is not. My sister-in-law, Aprel knows that!

This picture was taken near the swing. There are many photo opportunities, if you're willing to work for it! Jason wasn't happy about sitting still, and Natty doesn't look too happy, but she was!

We love living so close to the river and lake, and take advantage of them every chance we get! We're able to walk along the trail from early spring until there is too much snow to ride a bike in the winter.
