Sunday Drive

This afternoon we needed to get out of the house. The kids were home all day yesterday and just going to church today wasn't cutting it. Ian suggested we take a drive up the canyon. He then looked up easy, short trails. We ended up "hiking" up to Lisa Falls in Little Cottonwood Canyon. It was actually a real hiking trail, but the boys did awesome and it was nice and short. The falls were awesome too! There is still lots of run-off right now, so there was lots of water tumbling down. Talia seemed enthralled with the noise and movement of the water. Weston found himself a walking stick and we saw some bugs. It was a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
On our way home it was raining. It's actually still overcast and cool so I decided it was the ideal summer day for baking cookies. It has been SO nice to have Ian home all day with us today. We sure have missed him this week. Happy Sunday!
PS-Give this a listen. It will make you feel good. :)
