Grace and I - who normally are pretty busy on Sundays - had an entire Sunday (after church, that is) free, so we actually had some true family time. It was a beautiful day, so we went for a drive in some of the mountains we have nearby. We intended to go over to Parker Canyon Lake, but this is what happened shortly after we got in the car:
After turning off onto a pretty bumpy dirt road, the kids woke up, and we were able to find a really neat area to get out and explore. There was a Boy Scout troop out camping who directed us to this tire swing that the kids really enjoyed.
Then it was off into the wild...
She's getting so independent it's killing us!
Both of the kids had a really good time (as did David and I). They are such troopers - Grace wanted to keep going, but again, this is an area that you don't want to be traipsing around in after dark...
On our drive home, this was some of the scenery:
The kids really got a kick out of the cows and the fact that Daddy could "talk" to them and make them come over to the pickup. They have never been this up close and personal to cattle...
Then, as we got a little further down the path, Tristan yelled out "DEER!!" just about the time David and I saw 3 mule deer on the side of the hill (2 scampered off):
Talk about a proud Daddy who's 2 1/2 year old can spot deer in the distance!
