Saturday Fun

My new goal as the Mom of this gang is to get all our work and jobs done during the week, so on Saturday we can have more play time! We had success this week...all the kids did their jobs and their laundry was done, so Saturday we played!  

We went down to Riverwoods and saw their little farmer's market, ran through the fountains, shopped in Blickenstaffs and had pizza at Malawi's.

Then we headed to Rock Canyon for some rappelling!

Of course Hans has all the gear...but really, 4 walking poles....Josie couldn't resist!

 

Gray went first, to show us all how it was done.

On belay...belay on...rappelling....rappel on!

 

Chloe was next with a few little squeals, but she was awesome!

 

Truman threw his little Monkey with a parachute off first, then came down.  The monkey looks like he had a nice ride.

This was my view while I was on belay at the bottom. Beautiful! I love you Squaw Peak!

Rock decided to wait until he was a little older....I think I heard the words..."WHAT IF I DIE?!"  He was so stressed out and then it nearly killed him to see Josie come down.

 

Hans finished off by showing us how it's really done! Popping down in a few jumps!

 

Such a fun Saturday, enjoying what's close by!
