Whatch out for Falling Acorns!

Uncle Michael has had training in Anaheim (30 min away from us) for the past month and then for another 3 weeks (and Alta has been staying with him). We see them almost every weekend and Alta came and stayed with us for 10 days while Michael went back home. We LOVED having Alta here and miss her so much! We have only 1 more weekend with them until they go back home :(

Here's a couple things we have done...

We went hiking one Saturday, the weather was overcast and I was afraid it might rain, but we got lucky. It was great hiking weather, not too hot or too cold. Although it wouldn't have mattered, there were so many trees that we were in the shade the majority of the time. It was a beautiful hike. There were certain places though that you had to watch out for falling acorns!

We also did A LOT of swimming. Reid has become quite the pro at it also. He had only 1 summer of lessons and then taught himself how to do the breathing part! We're still working on Lliam, he's my timid one when it comes to water.

isn't she adorable?!

yee haw!

Pretty much the boys wanted to be with Alta for her DS!

Naw, they love her for so much more than her DS, but it is a plus!
