Field Trip Success!

Well, Taylor and I just got back from her first grade field trip. We went hiking in Snow Canyon State Park. They had a fun 1.5 mile trail that we hiked after we were given a program about how animals adapt to living in the desert. The kids have been studying the Australian Desert and it was fun to see the differences and similiarities. I heard many comments that this was "the best day of my whole life" and "this hike is awesome" and stuff like that, so the kids really enjoyed it. After the hiking was over, we ate a picnic lunch there in the campground. Then, the kids got to play in the sand dunes that are just at the entrance of the park. Taylor had a great time rolling around in the sand. By the time we came home at 1:00, I was ready for a break! Taylor was happy to have a recess coming up! Oh to have that kind of energy.

Tonight is soccer practice and then we are expecting Grandma J tomorrow. Saturday is the big day! Kite festival, game at 1:00pm, and birthday party at 3:00. And thank heaven, the weather reports look good for the day! It will be fun!
