Oh how I've missed the rain. I hope it never stops. And so does Sawyer. Monsoon season is here and it rains all the time!!! For now. Sawyer LOVES being out in it while Wyatt sits by the door and watches him play.
So we just got back from a little vacation in a mountain town called Chama. About 3 hours from our house. Our friends parents have a cabin up there and so we packed up all the kids and went up for the week. It's literally in the middle of nowhere. There was so much room for Sawyer and Wyatt and their two kids to run around and make forts and catch bugs....so much to do in fact that Jim and I got to actually hang out with our friends and play cards or just sit around and chat!! It was SO relaxing.
We went to the lake. Wyatt was really happy for about 20 minutes. Then fell in the water and cried the rest of the time.
We went fishing for the first time with the boys too. Sawyer LOVED it. And was the first one out of all the adults and kids to catch a fish. He fished on his own and as soon as he got a bite yelled for Jim and started bringing it in! I was so proud of him!!
We were going to go 4-wheeling....but the batteries were dead. Still fun to sit on though.
Sawyer and the kids caught like 30 grasshoppers and put them in this container and carried it everywhere. And shook it everytime they didn't move enough...poor things.
I was too far away to hear the conversation, but Sawyer and Wyatt were having a very long intense discusion with lots of head nodding and pointing at the dry riverbed.
The view from the porch was amazing
And the one picture of Wyatt happy while fishing. This boy does NOT like the wild. He would rather sit and draw. He likes being outside, just not fishing or hiking or going to the lake and getting wet...he was kind of a bummer anytime we tried to do anything super fun.
But over all it was the best vacation since the family reunioun above Sundance!! It was so relaxing and so much fun to be around friends in such a pretty place!! I miss the green mountains! It made us very homesick for Utah.
