Afternoon Walk

Today Hosanna, Helayna and I headed out for a walk along our back roads. I was thinking we'd be gone for maybe an hour and then back home but it was so nice out with this warm weather we've been having! The sun was shining nicely and it was so peaceful.

Of course, there's always time for a few pictures :)

25 MPH wasn't quite her speed ;) However I was very proud of this little girl because she walked a total of 8 miles today!!!! We walk all the way to the main road (the Glenn) which is 4 miles from our house and all the way back....don't ask how long it took! We made it there in an hour and half but the way home was a little slower. We stopped frequently both directions for Helayna who's 7-year-old legs couldn't quite keep up with our's and spent a lot of our way home carrying her!

We had a little company on the way home :) Some of the neighbors dogs came out to the road to "greet" us and so did some moose....

Not sure if you can see but in the picture on the right the moose are in the middle there close to the road. Just glad we didn't have a moose charging us or those dogs!

And here we are celebrating our goal of making it to the hwy!!! YAY! 

A TOTAL OF 8 MILES ALTOGETHER!! ;)

So proud of us!! Then we just had to make it home...yeah, not as many exciting photos, we were pretty tired!

It felt so good though and I am so glad we went for it, feel a little bad we pushed Helayna a little too far I think but she'll sleep good tonight from it ;)

I'm going to try and convince my siblings to do it again Sunday evening for evening service and walk as far as we can to the Church! {Already looking forward to it}

Hope you are all able to get out and enjoy this "spring" weather we're having, cause it won't be long and we'll be under snow again I'm sure! And as for everyone in the south...sorry our cold decided to pay you a visit, I hope you're able to stay warm and snuggle indoors!

State Fair Fireworks

We had alot of fun going to the state fair fireworks show a few nights ago! 

I also had fun trying to capture some of the fireworks with my phone. I watched most of the show through my opening and closing camera lences and still only came out with a few "good" ones. I deleted at least 70 photos from my camera roll...needless to say, capturing fireworks really isn't that easy! Oh well...I have until December to read up on how to better myself at this!

Here are a few of the best out of my "good ones" ;)

We didn't actually go to the fair to watch them (we didn't even hit much fair traffic!), but our location is a secret as we don't want this parking lot to fill up each year...it's our tradition! Although, we are nice enough to share the space with a few people as you can see!

It made me look forward to seeing the Christmas fireworks come Decemeber!
