our rainy adventure

Right before school started we went to Payson for some last minute fun. We went up to visit the dentist, go to the lake and take the kids on a hike or two. Instead we played in the rain, ALOT!!!

So what did we do in the rain....
Trevor caught a tarantula for all the kids. Yep they are checkin it out in the kitchen!
We had a frog hop in the house one morning and Boston caught him to keep as a pet while I was at the dentist. He thought it might be cold so he set him in the sun in a tightly sealed tupperware bowl. It was a cute WATER frog they named Red...he had no water!
Yes that is the dead frog and boston is plugging his nose.
Have no fear Alexa dug a grave and buried him out in the yard
Dancing in the rain
This is what happens when a REALLY loud thunder is heard
Beck and Sera in more rain
They loved it
Beckom doing his pose when you tell him to say cheese
Just hanging out. Beckom came and got us and wanted us to sit right by him on the fireplace. He would pat right where we were supposed to sit.
Finally we had a little break in the rain so off we went on a hike
the gang with a few very serious faces (we forgot how bad the cat-claw could be)
Talk about over the river. We crossed a few very deep washes...
One of the views on the hike

They look a little happier once we got them out of the cat-claw

It was a fun weekend. The kids keep asking if it is raining at Grandma and Papa's so we can play in the rain again.

Your kids are too cute! I can't believe how big they are all getting, especially that little Beckom. You need to make a trip to Utah :)

I can't believe school already started out there! I can't believe the kids brought that huge spider in the house! I would freak! Can't wait to see you guys in November!
