A couple weeks ago Brett decided to take a couple days off work just to get a break. He took a Monday and Tuesday off, so we had four days to play and have fun as a family. Since we aren't going to be taking any long vacations this year, with me pregnant for a few more weeks then a new baby after that, we have been learning to explore our own "backyard" a little more. We took a picnic one day and found a nice spot up near Kelly Canyon to just get out of the car and enjoy the warm weather. We started a little hike, but it wasn't a very good spot for the kids so we didn't go far.
On Monday we decided to pack another lunch and drive out to Craters of the Moon. Neither of us have been there since we were in elementary school, so it was new to all of us. The kids had a blast!
Aedan was our "leader" the whole time. We couldn't hardly keep up with him, especially me!
Ever since we went to Oregon last summer, it has been a game for these two to find these information boards with maps and pictures.
