Kick Ball and Popsicles

On Sunday I was called to my a Family Home Evening group leader in my Ward. I've done this calling before three years ago but I'm a little nervous/excited to have it again. On monday I had my first activity and we went to play kick ball and then had popsicles at the elementary school just up the street. Sometimes you just need to revert to being 10 years old again and enjoying the simple fun of a Summer's day. I think people enjoyed it and hopefully they will like everything else I come up with for the rest of the Summer! Wish me luck with my new calling!

Moab

Last week I took a vacation to Moab. Ok, so maybe I did work while I was there but not for who you are thinking of! My sister and her best friend went on a one day white water rafting trip and she invited me to watch my neice for the time they were gone because she is too little to go on a trip like that and my brother in law had to work. We drove down on Wednesday and after we were all checked into the Motel we drove to Arches National Park and went hiking. We hiked up to Delicate Arch (3 miles each way). It was a little scary hiking straight up the side of a giant sandstone mountain but the view from the top was spectacular. Thursday I spent with my little neice who is being the BIGGEST diva lately so we didn't do much in the way of outdoorsy stuff every five minutes there was whining and saying she was bored no mater what we did. Well, I guess that's not true becuase she was quit for the hour we spent in the pool other than bossing me around about where I could and couldn't swim too. It really is funny how five year olds think they know more than adults (they're like mini teenagers!). Friday we spent more time hiking in Arches, this time a more little girl friendly trail so she complained less (especially after we told her it was the "children's trial"). I am only sad that I forgot to charge my Camera so I didn't have it with me to take pictures! My sister's friend took pictures so when I get them from her I will have to put some up.
