First Dam Park.

We have a favorite park here in Logan. It is perfect. Especially this time of year. It has a lake, a dock, and lots of grass to run and play on.  Oh and I forgot to mention about a hundred ducks and geese that are always hungry.

Since its warmed up now that spring has finally come we can be found at this park 2-3 days a week. We love sticking our toes in the freezing water, throwing Rocks into the lake, Feeding the ducks, and making mud pies.

Here are some pictures of our recent outings.

We decided on Monday to go out and have a picnic and enjoy being together as a family rather than wrestling Hayden for a typical lesson. I am so glad we did. It was beautiful!!!! We picked up some fresh fruit, Little Caesar's Pizza and Bread-sticks, and Powerade for dinner. 

It was so nice to forget about our worries and just be together as a family. We spent a good 2-3 hours there, and only decided to go when we realized it was Hayden's bed time.

One of Hayden's newest favorite things to do while at the park is play in the water. He was sooo funny to watch. He would walk to the water scoop it up and walk over dump it into this little hole. He loved making mud. After he got tired of doing that; he would get water and walk about 200 hundred feet up the dock and dump it back in to the water. Then he would go back and repeat. We got lots of exercise that day walking back and forth. 

I am so glad spring has finally come. I was really getting sick of that hibernation period aka " being cooped up in our tiny apartment" and trying to come up with clever new ideas to Entertain Buster Brown.

Logan Canyon

A definate must see if you are ever in Logan is Logan Canyon. Beautiful and Breathtaking are the two words that come to mind whenever I think about it.

One sunday afternoon was a particularly restless day for me. I spend about 80% of my time at home, and I was ready to be out and about. I asked Ron if we could take a Drive through Logan Canyon to see the changing leaves. This is why I love fall! I never could enjoy changing leaves in St. George they usually just froze and fell. Ron and Agreed and this is what we saw. Apparantly this time around Fall hadn't quite made it yet. The more we drove up the canyon the more it changed, but it was beautiful none the less. I only wish I had accepted that it was in fact cold cause Hayden was barefoot and I had basically a long sleeved shirt and that was it. Curse my denial of winter coming.

Ron's parents came up one weekend, and they specifically said they wanted to see the canyon. I took them up there (ron was at an acsm conference in rheno). This time was definately not a disappointment as far as changing leaves are concerned. It was amazing!!!! I loved everything about our little walk in Nature, and so did Hayden.

My favorite picture by far is the one of the waterfall. I wish I had a photographer and my husband there. I would have definately taken some family photos there.

When Ron's parents left they took Hayden. Remember when I said we love mini moons? We enjoyed ourselves 5 days of pure baby free bliss. Not only is this good for our marriage,  but its good for me in particular. Hayden is seriously my all time pal and companion. He is with me every single minute of the day except nap time and bedtime, and even then I'm on call. You all know what I mean. Anyways when ever I am faced with pro-longed over night absence of Hayden I literally have panic attacks. Ron has to re-teach me to breath. I'm not kidding. Anyways these little Hayden free spurts have really helped me get over it, and know other people are just as competant of taking care of my child as I am. Anyways back to my point....

While Hayden was gone Ron and I embarked on a hike to the Logan Canyon Wind Tunnels. The hike was drudgerous and long. It said it was a light 1.8 mile hike... LIES ALL LIES!!!! okay maybe the length was right but the "light" part was a lie. It was completely up hill at about a 45 degree incline. INSANE!!! Well worth the views and the result in the end. We had a ton of fun doing it.

By the way the above picture is of me making fun of ron and his little show off his back pack pose. I don't normally pose like a dork unles imitating my hunky dorky husband.

If you are ever here in logan to visit. 2 things are a must see. Us and Logan Canyon. We are soooo excited to see winter and spring when it comes!
