Memorial Day

Hurrah for a day when Jared is home during the week- we don't get too many of these during the school year!  We decided that we would start our day off by visiting Sodalis Nature Park.  This is really the first hike we have gone on as a family- a pretty exciting first for Tori and Garrett!
Here are Jared and Garrett getting all ready for the hike!
We decided to tackle the Beaver trail- I think it was the shortest one.  Tori took off on a run right from the start!
Tori had so much fun finding rocks (many rocks) along the way!
Garrett was loving hanging out with Daddy!
Tori was even more ecstatic when we gave her the map- she loved making sure we were on the right path!!!
Here is the one family photo we got on our hike.  It's crazy and for that very reason I love it!  Our camera was propped up on the diaper bag, Tori did not want to be in the picture and was trying to escape, my eyes are closed, Jared has a crazy look on his face, and you can barely see Garrett.  But we are all in there!!!
Check out our cute girl and her walking stick!!!
 Tori with her map and walking stick- she was in heaven!!!
After the hike we checked out the lake for a few minutes- it really is a beautiful park and a beautiful girl!
After our hike we went to McDonald's for ice cream cones.  Now, Tori has had ice cream plenty of times, but this was the first time she had an ice cream cone- she loved it!
Love this cute girl and her smile!!!
It was super hot today and our ice cream cones hit the spot perfectly!!!
The rest of the day we just hung out and relaxed as a family.  It was such a perfect way to spend our Memorial Day together!!!
