The glorious sushine and warmth visited us for the day which gave me such an itch to get outside! The bug was having none of that though and I took to bribing her with toasty treats of yum to get her into the car. Hungry? (when I knew that yes, she was) Great! Just follow me and I'll give you this pop tart!
I made her wait until we got to the trail before I divulged the goodness. By then she was so excited and the "I don't wanna have an adventure!!" had morphed into "YAY!!! A 'venture!!!"
Gazing with sheer thrill and jubilance at the posted declaration.
The tree-hugger in me boring the bug nearly to death.
Looking out over our neighborhood. We tracked down her old bus stop, friends houses, and a bunch of other random memories. Couldn't see our house though. The ski lodge just left of the middle of the picture is blocking it. (It's not really a ski lodge, but we affectionately refer to it as one since they had to build it on 4 lots and it's ginormous.)
A long overdue us self-pic.
Just a few moments after this was taken I heard, coming cheerfully from the ground below where I was sitting, "Mommy, the bug went to Heaven."
I handed over the camera of power for a few moments and it felt GOOOOOOOD to get to goof off and let her document whatever she wanted.
In the absence of horses, these poles serve as a convenient place to tie up children for a brief break.
Really.
A delightful bit of green. Welcome Spring!!!
Success.
Pop Tart Adventures just may become a Sunday afternoon tradition.

Lovely to see you Michelle. You look like Rene.
How fun! I miss taking my kids on adventures -- I may have to start it up again as well, at least with the younger ones. Yay for spring! We got snowed on again. Ugh.
Love the A'venture! :) Sometimes food is all it takes to lure them out of the house. haha
I have family in Orem. Such a beautful little city all nestled in the foothills. I always loved to go and visit them when I was younger.
