Hiking in Pole Canyon

Our first official hike of the summer was up Mnt. Nebo's Pole Canyon. We took a picnic lunch and had an adventure. My mom designated me the nature guide. I chose where we went. We walked down to the creek and found a little cave under tree roots. We could tell that some sort of animal likes to sleep there. We decided that it was a mountain lion. Then we had to throw a couple of hundred rocks into the creek. After that we hiked up a hill and picked up a lot of sticks and gave my mom a lot of flowers to put in her hair ( don't tell the forest ranger). It was a fun little hike. Where do you like hiking? 

A Pulley in the Treehouse

My brother, Ladd got a pulley from my grandma for his birthday. We decided the best place for it was the treehouse. My dad helped us put it up and boy was it fun. The biggest thing we pulled up was my baby brother's car. Why? Because we could! It is super fun to use and makes us feel strong:) What do you think we should pull up? 

The End of Second Grade

Another school year behind me. Second grade was the best so far. I had an amazing teacher, who I just want to take with me. The last week of school we had field day, awards assembly, and a lot of cleaning. Field day was mostly a really long recess. It was fun to be outside playing with my friends for so long. At the awards assembly I received two awards: reading and high test scores. I will miss my second grade class and teacher. What will you miss about this past school year? 

My First Track Meet

I had my first track meet in early May. I was very excited. I didn't win, but I had a super fun time. I also learned a lot from watching other people. I was able to participate in 4 events. I choose the 50 meter dash, the 100 meter dash, the 4 man relay and the standing long jump. The standing long jump was my favorite. 

This has been my first year participating in track and I love it!! What spring sport so you love?

Happy To Be On My Bike

It was a long winter and my brothers and I were super happy to be back on our bikes. We have a little routine of going for a bike ride after dinner. It is fun now that Ladd can keep up with me. Of course we still have to wait for mom and Jack at the end of every block. But that is ok because we are just happy to be riding again. What did you miss during the winter months?

Spring Break Adventures

Spring break this year was amazing. One of the days I met my cousins Will and Wren at the Planetarium. It was really fun. We walked on Mars and the Moon. On another day I went riding horses with my family. I rode my horse,Princess. We went out to the sand dunes on my grandpa's farm. We always look for pieces of Indian pottery. We found some pretty good ones and even an arrow head. This was a pretty fun spring break! 

Fishing, Shooting, and Playing on the Farm

Sunday was a great day to play with my family. My grandpa told us that the ditch at the farm was full of fish. So we decided to head over and try our luck. There sure were a lot of fish, unfortunately they didn't want to bite.
It was still fun though. It just felt good to be outside. My dad let me shoot his gun and I am an awesome shot. I hit my target more than once!
I also got to ride around on the four wheeler with my grandpa. We looked at all the new baby calves. They sure were cute! I feel lucky to have such an adventurous place to explore!! What do you like to do on sunny Sunday afternoons?
