Summer of Fun: City Creek Trail

I like doing Summer of Fun with David.  I got the idea a couple of years ago when we lived in Alamosa.  My friend Ashley does great summer activities with her boys (who I will probably copy next summer) and since Matthew is older this year David and I had a plan.

I made a calendar which includes our special Book Wagon/School Lunch Programs in the park and it has a day each week in which we do a special activity (usually at our house) and invite David's friends.  I got the calendar ready for the entire summer - June, July and August.  We made lots of copies and sent them out ti a few if David's friends and saved some to give to our near by friends - new friends in our new ward, neighbors, etc.  We don't expect all our friends to join us every week although that would be really cool but it is fun to have activities with our friends.  We only had a couple of activities before we left for a few weeks and so here you go.

Our special activity day is Thursday; June 2 was our first activity day.  Summer of Fun Activity #1 was to go hiking on the City Creek Trails.  We met with Mason and Sharla over at Centennial Park and just walked up the trail.  I chose a trail that was close to the little creek so the boys could play in the water.  This hike was not about distance or speed.  We just walked at a good pace for the boys and gave them plenty of opportunities to explore the little creek.  We had lots of little bridges to cross and shade to stay cool in.

*Please note that my sweater pockets are stuffed with Kleenexs, my phone, crackers and most of the time my camera.

We had a great time and I'm so glad the Pettingill's could join us for a fun morning hike and quick lunch in the park.
