June

June started with a fun visit from my mom and Grandpa Dave. We took the oldest two kids on the train in Heber, it was a warm day so we were glad to ride in one of the open sided train cars.

Olivia wasn't too sure of the "train robbers."

Another day we went for a hike near Payson to this waterfall, it was quite the task to get all of us out on this rock!

Crossing the stream.

We had a yummy picnic lunch at Payson Lakes. And then the day got a little scary, we had planned on making the trip up the mountain to see the Kolob Canyon and then coming back down the other side of the mountain. All the information I could find online said the road was open but ummm, nope it wasn't. We drove through some pretty scary spots and were thankful that mom and Dave's car decided it wanted off the mountain before it got too bad.

The really pretty plants on the roadside.

The road partially blocked by snow, there were worse areas but I didn't get pictures.

After all the scary driving we arrived at the canyon which was quite pretty, it was just too bad that the gate to get us down the backside of the mountain was still closed so we had to drive back through the snow.

Olivia loved the bunnies at Grandma and Grandpa's neighbor's house.

We finally got Rob a new car, the poor green car had a good life with us but the new Avalon is a welcome addition to our house.

We had a baby skunk visit our backyard in June (the neighbor's dog "took care of it" soon after!)
