Adeline gets new glasses and my birthday Saturday adventure to Rocky Mouth Falls

Adeline had to get a new prescription so these are the new glasses she picked out. I admit, I semi-miss the heart glasses, but these are very sparkly on the frames which is hard to see in the picture. She loves them and wears them and that's what matters.

My birthday fell on a Saturday this year, and when I heard it was going to be nice weather, I looked into trying to find a small hike (since we had stake conference meetings later that afternoon and evening) nearby that wasn't covered in snow. Rocky Mouth Falls to the rescue! Notice I'm wearing hte most clothing attire ha ha. Is this a surprise to anyone? I was glad we went there early because the parking lot is only for 6 cars.

Gorgeous gorgeous weather for a hike though.

Lots of stairs at the beginning. I bet this hike is VERY different pretty-wise once all the trees have leafed out. None had leaves when we went.

The little caves were fun.

Boys being boys.

Hiking up a very tall rock face.

We made it to the waterfall. It took us less than 30 minutes to get to the waterfall, and we hung out for a bit there. There was DEFINITELY some water overflow on the trail due to super snow melt, but it was manageable.

I wonder if the waterfall is always this big in the spring, or if it's extra big this year due to all the snow.

The overflow of the rocks at the bottom of the waterfall.

Climbing across the rocks, even Adeline made it.

Climbing up even higher areas. It was SO SO nice to be outside and in a beautiful spot. I wouldn't call myself an INTENSE hiker, but I do love pretty nature hikes.

Overflow water on the trail.

We went about 20 minutes on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail that was a little offshoot on this path.

We all wondered what these cool white things were on the bridge. They were very unique.

Fun deer we saw.

Liam also earned $100 for mowing a lawn for someone getting their house ready to sell.

And it was warm enough the girls ran through the "test" of the sprinklers in their swimsuits.

And Evelyn painted my nails for my birthday. Her choice of colors :)
 

End of April gymnastics/rainbows/boys join the gym/ji jitsu/ and FINALLY some warm weather!

Running and doing her vault with Lacey.

She was able to do the final one basically all on her own!

Practicing her handstand.

A MASSIVE thunderstorm let to a gogeous double rainbow.

Signed up the boys for guest privileges on my gym account. They go with me at 5 am and are ecstatic to go.

Liam and more of his ji jitsu moves.

I wish I could tell more of what he is doing, but it is tricky to tell.

It's definitely a good workout though.

 

And it is finally getting warm enough to be outside in the evenings. I love this picture of the girls and their flower basket they made me.

Girls Saturday adventure Kidstopia

So, due to Adeline running around all month of April I told her she could go to a fun place as a reward. She said she wanted Kidtopia (which she really wanted another place but got mixed up on the name), but I told her can we make this work when we had already got there. She was a good sport and said yes.

Climbing on the volcano is no big deal now.

More hanging around on the turtle.

Evelyn came with us and had lots of fun too.

Good therapy.

Swinging around on the bar area.

We stayed for a couple of hours and it was fun to go do something. I like adventures.
