Aahh.....A Hot Dog Roast!!!

Yesterday we went up Hobblecreek to have a hot dog roast. I know we are so bad to do that on a Sunday :(, but we had such a great time! The weather was perfect, there were not to many people up there, and the water felt great. It was so nice to spend some quality time with my family. I lived in Springville for 12 years, and my family spent a lot of time up at Kellys Grove. It was so fun to see my kids doing the same things I did as a kid. It hasn't changed a bit.

When we first got there we did a bit of hiking! Everything was so green. It was beautiful!!

Jada walked down the hills behind Dave, and holding his hands. She was afraid she would fall!

Next we played in the creek. It was so fun. The water was a bit cold, but with the heat it felt great. Part of the creek was damned up so it was deep enough for the older kids to swim in it. Dawson had fun sitting in the shallow parts. He thought he was pretty brave!

Brayden & Dax trying to decide if they wanted to get wet!

Dawson wouldn't get in at first. He just wanted to play with this stick in the water!

Finally everyone got in and played!

This is where the water was damned up

Dawson had so much fun!

After playing in the water, we had our hot dog roast. We had a great time even minus the hot dog buns. What happened to the buns....good question? They got put in the van, but they suddenly vanished. They were no where to be found. I thought for sure they would be on the counter when we got home, be they weren't. They really did disappear. Everyone still ate a hot dog (except for picky me). We had enough other good food, and smores. You can't have a campfire without smores. Ummm....smores!!! Love em!!

Enjoying bunless hot dogs...ummm!

Daxtons new thing is sporting bandanna's. He looks so cool!

Dawson loves to roast mallows!

Here is Dawson & Jada enjoying the finished product!

My little guy can't stay clean for anything. I was leaning into the car to get out wipes to clean him off, and I told Dawson, "don't touch me!" So what does he do, he gets as close to my bum as he can without touching me, just to be funny!Dave was watching the whole thing and was laughing. Dawson is just like his Dad, he is such a tease!

Leave it to Dawson to get really dirty!

We had such a great day!! I just love summer! We do a lot of day trips to the canyon for hot dog roasts. We do not get to camp too much, so this makes up for it. I love my family!
