First Pond Trip This Summer

We took our first trip to the pond this year last night.  It was a spur of the moment idea that we sprung on Ryan as he walked in the door from work.

We loaded up, stopped and picked up a couple pizzas, and headed out to have a picnic dinner and to do some swimming.

When we got there we were surprised to find that there was hardly any beach to play on because the water was so high.  We had to sit back on the grass and the kids only had a couple feet of sand.

It didn't bother the kids at all and they had a blast.  Because the pond was so full, it meant that it was also really shallow for a long way out.  The kids loved being able to play in it.

The water was freezing.  I dipped my toes in and I was done.  

The beach will always be my favorite place in the world, but these Utah mountain are growing on me.

Cameron was adorable.  He played by himself most of the time and it was clear he was deeply involve in a story.  He was running all over the place and we just caught a little bit of what he was saying.  Something about islands and bad guys.

You have to admit, that is a pretty nice view.
