Exhausted and dirty!

We love, love, love Millcreek Canyon. Its super green, not as busy as the other canyons and just for picnicing and hiking/biking. We've be dying to get out of the valley and decided dinner in the canyon was just the get away we needed.
It rained a bit in the beginning but thankfully didn't get eveything all muddy. Adam drove far enough up the canyon (despite my requests to "just pick a place") that we were the only ones at our picnic site. Ella and Grace played "hide and seek" (the kind where mom can always see you) and Joseph played in the dirt and threw rocks into the stream. Shocker!
Adam got lots of "help" building our fire. Adam is the king of the "one match fire". How has no ward ever called him into scouting?
Time absolutely flew while we were there. Before we knew it three hours had passed, we started getting cold and dark was sneeking quickly up on us.
The kids were exhausted and DIRTY on the way home. Isnt that how real fun always ends, exhausted and dirty?

I'm jealous, I've been dying to go up in the canyon but we haven't made in once this year. I guess we better get on that. Thanks for inviting us to Ella's party. It was lots of fun!
