Hike To Ensign Peak

For Pioneer Day here in Utah, my dad had a great idea to take a hike up to Ensign Peak. Ensign Peak is known as the peak that the Pioneers came over into the Salt Lake Valley after their long journey across the plains. The same peak where Brigham Young famously declared, "This Is The Place".
I was a bit taken aback since my dad is probably the last person on Earth that would ever suggest we go on a family hike. The outdoors aren't really his thing. But it isn't too hard of a hike, only about 20 or 30 minutes. And it was gorgeous.

Dad: What gives?!

I live here, folks. 

Check out that view! 

Not to mention those amazing clouds. 

BE THE PLANK.

ADVENTURES IN PLANKING:

We all went to dinner before our dear friend Hannah left for Wales.

We of course ate until our little bellies could hold no more (Thank you, Bombay House)

And randomly decided that we must go planking. 

Thank goodness Erika had her camera on her so we could document our adventures.

ALL IS LOVE

This one ↑↑↑ and the one of Hannah in the tree 

are definitely my favorites. If you don't understand planking, I say don't

diss til you try it. You will have a hard time not laughing. I promise.

Picnic In The Canyon

This is our trip up Provo Canyon about two weeks ago! Sorry it's taken me so long to post any new pictures. I've been lazy about finally getting some of these pictures on my computer. We all went up to a little park on a sunny day to spend our Saturday afternoon together.

Aren't these marvelous trees?

I had to climb one of these trees too!

Video of this will be coming soon. Calvin was up to his knees in 

mud from this faucet. 

The Puddle Jumper

For about a week and a half (maybe two weeks?)  here in good ol' Utah, every day was grey and rainy. It was pretty awesome, everything was green, I could get away with still wearing my big scarves in May. The best part was definitely Calvin's discovery of what happens when you step in a puddle. On one occasion, his whole bottom half was soaked through. This video only shows the smaller puddle.

The bad side: Calvin's clothes were constantly having to be re-washed because of all the muddy water. but it was totally worth it to watch him stomp around in the puddles.
