Fun in the Rain

Well, this week we were supposed to be enjoying sunny Lake Powell.  A wrench was thrown into that plan when we found out the boat we were going to take is broken.  Fortunately, we found that out before we left.  Anyway, we were feeling a little bummed about it, so we decided to do something fun over the weekend, in spite of the rainy forecast.  The smell of the rain was reminding me of mountains and childhood trips for some reason, so we decided to head up the canyon (where it was even colder--call us crazy if you like) and have a little picnic.  Terral's parents came along to give us some good company.  Aren't they cute?


It certainly was chilly, and we definitely heard some thunder, but we had a really good time!  We cooked up some chili to warm us up, and Terral and his dad started a fire for us.  We were protected from the rain and hail by the pavilion, and our jackets and blankets kept us warm.  We saw some deer fairly close.  Terral and Chaco had a blast running around together.  I love it when Terral's inner child comes out.  Here he is swinging and playing with Chaco. :)

  1. Glad you guys were able to at least do something fun. That's a bummer that your trip got canceled! You should of came and found us! Although our trip was pretty crazy itself! Looks like you guys are doing good! Are you teaching from home yet? How is that going if you are?

  2. I've been teaching from home for two years now, but I only have a few students. It's going really well, and I enjoy it. I just started a new student--she's only four! Our first lesson was great. It always helps when the kids are excited about it.
