Labor Day 09






We had so much fun this year without even going on vacation. We went on a hike just up a little canyon by our house. It was Luke first time "hiking" He actually did amazingly well. He wanted to walk up himself instead of be in the pack so we all marched up together so that he would get his feet high enough to avoid slipping on the rocky trail. But his favorite part ended up being the rocky trail. We kept trying to pick up these rocks about the size of his torso, that were buried. Then we hit a huge down pour of rain so we ran down on the way back. It was so fun! It is nice to be able to start doing these family outings together.

Then on Sunday we had a picnic in the park and fed the ducks at the pond. Luke was crazy for the ducks (or duck ducks as he refers to them) He kept reaching out to try to hug them. He was in heaven when all of the sudden he was surrounded by about twenty. At one point I thought he would walk right back into the pond with them.

Add the BYU win overy OU in the middle of that and we had a killer weekend!

Luke is such a handsome little boy! Those eyes! that smile!

And what is it about ducks?? My Annilee lOvEs ducks too. LOVES them.

What is it that makes them so lovable? Is it the quack? the waddle? the name? maybe we'll never know . . .
