SAN TAN SATURDAY!

So with the weather being so overcast it is taunting to come outside and play so we did! Eli asked me if Emma was going to come (she is always gone at dance) and when I told him she was going to, he made a fist and pumped it and said, YES!! He was so excited, I hope that stays with him forever.

I took the kids to go hike San Tan Mountain on the Moonlight Trail. We only "hiked" for 2.2 miles and ya it took us an hour and 15 minutes. We did take some drink breaks, snack breaks, picture breaks, etc.

I asked the boys, "what does hiking do for our bodies?" Eli responded with makes them healthy and strong - Tyson on the other hand answered very annoyed with, "SWEATY!"

This was the first time we took the kids on a hike and we weren't pushing the jogging stroller. I am so glad I got to spend time with these kids outside walking and talking about anything and everything and perhaps even scaring the boys a bit about being attacked by a mountain lion! oops!

Since we finished at 6pm the kids were hungry for dinner so as we were driving we home we drove right passed San Tan Flats and we decided to check it out. Best thing we did. We ordered our food, ate outside in the beautiful weather, the kids scarfed down their food, played with wood blocks, roasted marshmallows in our fire pit, listened to the band play music and I even bribed Tyson with a dime to go dance with Emma! After being there for 3 hours I finally made the kids leave. We had the best day and the only bad thing about the day was that daddy was in Oregon. The kiddos have requested we do this again as soon as Jared comes home! They have a deal!
