I’ve felt a bit like I’ve been not taking the time to just focus on my kids this last week, and decided I just needed to get away from the never-ending house-work and other things that occupy my time or distract me. So tonight the boys and I got a pizza and headed up the canyon for a little picnic and to throw rocks in the river. 
Devon yelling “Woo-Hoo!” every time he threw in a rock.
After going down this steep-ish hill (pictured below) about half-way, Devon looked at me and was a bit scared and said, “Mom, I think this is a little crazy.” Cracked me up. I’m already off-balance and out of shape as it is, so I was a bit worn out afterwards, but the boys sure thought it was great. They especially liked crossing over the log you can see here. 
Picking the perfect rocks to throw:).
Carson thought we’d gone a really long ways away from where we started, but the van was literally parked just up the hill probably 2 minutes away:). They were really tough though, well, after Devon got over the initial life-threatening encounter with a fly. On our way back down, Devon said, “Mom, we are SOOOOOO tough and SOOOOO good hikers.”
How fun! You are like the world’s best mother! I’m very glad to hear I don’t have the only boys in the world who think flies are out to destroy them. :) It cracks me up, poor, silly boys.
That looks like so much fun! Your boys are so adorable!!
You are such a good mom! That looks like so much fun. We need to get our kids together to play!
You are so great, taking your kids other places than the park or Walmart, how fun for them.
What a fun mom you are! It looks like they had a blast!
Awe, your such a good mom. I don’t think I could be a mom of boys, you and Dezi are my heros!
I love the pics of the canyon, so pretty!
