Snowbanks, Wildflowers and Water Fights

Saturday we drove up Farmington Canyon to find some cooler temps. We were successful, it was probably 15 degrees cooler.
We came across several snowbanks on the backside....



...and the wildflowers were very abundant and gorgeous.



This is us overlooking Farmington and The Great Salt Lake.



It took some convincing on my part for Gary to believe he could fit his jeep between these 2 trees.



Kasper loves going in the jeep (see her grinning as she hangs out the back at the snowbank)
She enjoyed many swims in the lake to retrieve her stick.



Sunday was a BBQ and water party with the kids.
Uncle Bryan made a big hit with the kids as he filled water balloons...



...The boys had a "BLAST" throwing balloons at each other and all of us.



Another great weekend with the family.
We are truly blessed to be able to enjoy days like these.

Your pictures of Farmington Canyon make me miss it so bad. I need to get up there soon! Casper is loving life in those photos, how cute!

Good idea to get up out of the heat, and the water balloons looked like fun. Gorgeous wildflowers! We saw some like this when we hiked in the mountains of Logan with Marji and Harry.
