Super Saturday

So a couple of weeks ago we found ourselves trying to fit everything possible in to one day.  We started with a parade.  It was Alden's first and he did not enjoy it as much as we thought he would.  Oh well maybe next time when we sit close enough to get candy.

The General Lee came to the Strawberry Days parade awesome!

After the parade we raced up to Salt Lake and met my old roommate Kate and her family in Little Cottonwood Canyon for a little hike and lunch.

On the trail

It wasn't too difficult Norah walked most of the way like this.  Too cute!

The waterfall, I think it is called Lisa Falls

This was a great little place for Alden to explore.  The waterfall was not too big and there were rocks everywhere.  He is such a boy and in a phase were he has to pick up rocks wherever we go.

Family photo time

Playing with rocks again after lunch.

After lunch we went and picked up Aunt LaWayne to hit the last two stops on our Community Exploration Pass; the Natural History Museum and Red Butte Gardens.

And there were dinosaurs awesome!

After looking at dinosaur bones we got to dig for our own.

I think Alden enjoyed it.

We also got to build our own volcano and then watch it explode

After seeing the natural history Museum we had a quick snack and headed next door to Red Butte Gardens. 

I just love this picture

Alden was sleeping in the stroller so we took some time to hang out with the moose

It was a long exhausting day, but we had lots of fun.  And to top it all off there was the coolest moon that night.  It was glowing and up before the sun had gone down all the way. This picture really does not do it justice.  We hope everyone is enjoying summer as much as we are.
