Every Friday a few of us from our apartment complex do a playgroup for the kids and so that the women get a chance to socialize. All right, I won't lie, it's mostly for the women to socialize, but it's nice that the kids get to play together while we do it.
Usually we stick pretty close to home and either have it at someone's house or the local park or restaurant's play place, but for the summer we decided to branch out a little and do a couple of bigger things each month. Today was our first bigger activity. We went up Provo Canyon to Bridal Veil Falls. There is a cool park at the bottom and has a nice paved trail that you can push a stroller along (I think it's actually a biking trail?) and there's a small pool at the bottom of the falls that's shallow enough and safe enough for even little kids to play, splash around, and throw rocks in.
It was supposed to be overcast and rainy today, but when we woke up the sun was shining and I was so glad! I've been looking forward to this for awhile, because it's such a pretty place and the kids love to be in the water, and I can let them be because it doesn't require a whole ton of supervision like going to a swimming pool would. Plus, it's just a good chance to get out and enjoy the beautiful world that God has put here for us.
Since the water is melt from the snow on the top of the mountains, it was still pretty cold, so my boys weren't as adventurous as they probably would have been otherwise. Neither of them got very wet. Well, until Lincoln sat down in the mud and then I made him sit down in the stream to wash it off, but he still wasn't that wet.
