Swimming

So Friday, we decided to go on this hike to Dog Lake, up Millcreek Canyon. I have no pictures of the hike because Dustin used his phone to take one picture. :) It was SO amazing...(not exactly). We learned fast why it was called Dog Lake. LOTS of dogs. We didn't pass many people who didn't have their dogs with them. Made me want one. The hike itself wasn't terrible, besides all the bags of doggie poop alongside the trail. At least it was in bags, not on the ground. It was a stinking LONG hike! About six miles round trip, which is long for us, packing our kids in. Macie wanted to turn around about a mile from the top, but we knew there would be that unfulfilled feeling of not making it to the top to see the lake. We kept trucking along, after Macie had to pee in the trees off to the side of the trail. I figured all the hundreds of dogs were marking their territories, so Macie was fine. We got to the top to see a tiny lake that was full of bugs and dogs. :) The scenery was awesome, though, great view from the top, and I'm way glad we went.

Saturday, we stayed home and went swimming in the morning. Macie learned a new trick, so we went to Walmart and got her some goggles and floaties. Noah, too. Here is the result.





On a side note...Macie was swimming to Dustin this whole time and after one time, she came up and said, "Dad, your hair on your body is tickling me!" How entertaining!

I have to tell you... My computer froze right as Macie jumped in the water the first time! It was so scary-like she was drowning right before my eyes. But luckily, she's super talented and didn't. Way to go Macie!
