We went up to American Fork canyon last weekend for a family picnic. We has such a great time. We had decided to first stop off at KFC for some lunch then off we went.
When we got there we started to eat. It wasn't too long before we realized that we were not the only ones hungry. Several bees decided they wanted to be a part of our picnic too. For those who know me, you know that I am VERY afraid of bees and unfortunately my children have inherited that from me too!!! So we were crazy trying to get rid of the bees. We tried moving some chicken away from us but that just wasn't good enough. So we ended up eating on the run. It wasn't the best but it worked.
After all the eating was finished we decided to go on a hike. I was a little nervous taking Audrey but we ended up having a great time. She seemed to enjoy being outside.
Avery loved hiking and she wanted to walk and do it herself. She did great!!
As we were walking Kennady bend down to look at a sea shell. But she wasn't ready for the snail to pop out. She let out a huge scream that scared me as well as all the animals.
We made it to some really huge rocks. They were fun to climb on and it was a fun place to sit and relax and look around. The mountains are always such a beautiful place. I am always so amazed at our world.
There was even a time that Kennady and Sydney went off hiking up a hill all by themselves. It was really fun to see them accomplish this. They wanted to try going up the rocks and they did great!
After our hike we played next to the stream. The girls had a lot of fun throwing rocks into the water. Sydney even skipped a rock twice. She thought she was amazing.
It was a really nice Saturday afternoon. It was a great family adventure!!

You've passed a lot of things down to your girl(DOG HATER...;) joking) Syd looks REALLY old in that 3rd picture down. I love whatever pose Avery is suppose to be doing in her pictures. I miss you guys already...time for a visit?
