It's been a long time since Cody had a full day off other than Sunday so we made the most of it! The kids went to a fun b-day party in the morning at pump-it-up. In the afternoon Cody said "hey, it's only 92 degrees....let's go for a hike!" It's crazy when that seems like cooler weather! We got lots of icy water bottles and headed to the White Tank Mountains, on one of our favorite hikes down Waterfall Canyon. It's a mile there, a mile back - very kid-friendly with only a few hard parks walking across big rocks in the water. We let Kade walk for a little bit then strap him in the backpack (well Cody does!) and off we go.
Kade was very proud to lead the way!
Ethan kept wanting me to take his picture next to every big rock.
At the end of the hike in the water we found lots of fun creatures....grasshoppers and baby frogs that the boys had fun holding. On our way back we saw a deer...pretty cool to see that in the desert in AZ! It was hot but we had a great time.

How fun!!! I can't wait for it to get even cooler so we can go out there!!! The boys look like they held up well in the heat! You look so cute too!! Glad you all got some time off together!!! Can't wait to see you!!
Sounds like you guys had lots of fun, glad you had such a great family day together...Happy Labor Day!!
Yeah you had tons more fun than us. We cleaned all day long.
How fun...you are troppers in that heat! Your boys are getting so big..What a fun family day!
you went without us? I guess I do have a sprained ankle so you are forgiven! haha Rhett looks like a little animal crouched on a rock in the 4th picture so cute haha!
Don't you LOVE when the hubby has a full day off! Looks like a lot of fun!
That looks so fun! We need to take our kids to do that, they would love it. You got some really cute pictures! Looks like the boys had tons of fun!
What a fun day! Looks like everyone had a great time! I'm so glad Cody finally got a little break. You do look adorable! We need to go do this hike too! Chad always talks about it but we are yet to do it! Maybe soon!
We love that hike as well! Looks like you guys had a great weekend!
You are so cute! I miss you Brooke! We are loving the "fall" weather here. It's in the 70s and feels so cool to us!
I am surprised you didn't end up taking some of the frogs, etc. home with you. Yeah, my idea of hiking in the summer is my stairs.
I pretty much hate you because I'm jealous! You are smokin hot! I'm so out of shape this summer that I'm probably going to audition for biggest loser. :)
That is insane that 92 degrees is cool. Psycho AZ people! Glad you had fun though. Good for you that you don't let the hot weather slow you down. And Brooke...you're such a babe. How do you manage to look so cute while hiking?
for sure call us next time! I think the last time we did that hike i was prego with Ryya! glad to hear you all had fun!
I love that trail, it's right up my alley! And perfect for kiddos.
