the weekend in crappy iphone pics

there was one rule this past weekend.  mama needed to be far far away from the house.  we drove all over the place and happily did it pretty cheap!

hiking- there were lots LOTS of stops to look at and coddle bugs.  yes, coddle.  "ooooo, wiwwle bebe bug!" 

poofy head.  lots of stops for those too.

quick trip to the zoo, we have a membership so we didn't feel bad about staying for under an hour.  i wish i had a photo of the weeb's face when ethan surprised him with the monkey mask.  

this is not the wilderness.  it's our backyard.  we're awesome.

they were SO excited about the river.  we are absolutely going back soon.  WHY haven't we been appreciating the beauty 10 minutes from our house?  utah may be a little wonky socially, but you can't beat the landscapes.

ok.  take note.  this is dinner at denny's.  yes, denny's. if you have kids you understand the need to go somewhere nobody will notice screaming kids.  i was pleasantly surprised by the menu.not the food, the menu.  best kids menu anywhere. (best in selection NOT nutrition).  anyhoo, don't knock the denny's.
