Yesterday was our last day up in the mountains celebrating a terrific spring break with our kids. Around lunchtime, we made the drive from the cabin in Strawberry up to Fossil Creek, where we enjoyed a terrific afternoon together. We were with Morgan & Jessie & their family. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! Totally clear skies, sunny, and temperatures in the low 60's. Our kids love spending time with their Brown cousins, Avery, Lainey & Jolie. Thanks, guys, for a great trip. We loved it!

I love these guys more than anything in the world!
We tossed some mean frisbee
And of course we played in the water. Nevermind that the water was ice cold, probably in the 50 degree range. The kids couldn't have cared less. They shed their shoes, rolled up their pants, and got wet! Afton was our brave one. She was jumping rocks and giving us all a run for our money.
It took us a while driving around before we finally found a good place to play with the little ones. The water was raging so fast in so many places. All the recent snow fall and rain has done our rivers and creeks a world of good. We talked with some kayakers at the bottom of the creek who had done a 2-3 mile run yesterday. We were out of our car looking at the huge rapids near the Fossil Creek bridge (which we found out from the kayakers was a "Class 5" rapid) when one of them asked me if I wanted to take the kayak for a ride. Yeah, right!
Ryan wanted to try jumping the same rock that Afton had just conquered, but he thought the momentum might just make him fall forward into the fast moving waters.
Uncle Morgan was giving free vertical swings to the little ones. They were squealing with delight (and a little fear) with the cold water below them. Here he is with Rowan by the feet.
I had to get in a couple of pictures before the weekend was over. I know I am biased, but I think I have the best kids on the planet.
