We hiked to Stuart Falls on the 4th of July with cousins, mostly for the beauty of nature but also in order to deny the existence of any parade. Friday, we went to Provo Falls in the Uintahs and it was so pretty. I remembered my Camera but forgot my memory card. Still trying hard to be outside with my kids, I took them to float on pool rafts in Deer Creek Reservoir. They were excited to do this, but when we got there they didn’t like the dirty water or the rocky beach. Still we got an hour of entertainment out of our $10 parking fee …sheesh. Afterward Mago said, ” I want to just throw this whole lake in the dump!” and Nem nem said, “Yeah, or the graveyard!” They did say they would like to go out on it in a boat, though.
Nemmy’s canopy drape over her bed is a caniky, and a bikini is a vikini. A few days ago she found an earwig climbing her caniky when she woke up and now she keeps waking me up at night with imagined bugs.
In our backyard this evening I saw three baby deer drinking milk from their mama. I ran for my camera but missed it. My neighbor said he saw 8 babies all together one morning recently. I need to spend more time out there.
