Picture This

If I had a camera, I would've taken pictures of the following events. But since I don't, you'll have to use your imagination & create your own pictures.

*Tonight Caitlyn attempted to eat corn on the cob. We were all eating it & had cut some for her to have on her plate, but that wasn't sufficient for this girl. She wanted to be JUST like the rest of us & eat from the cob.

*This morning the girls & I joined some friends for a fantastic hike out at Red Rock. It was the Children's Discovery trial and they loved it! We went early before it got too hot- smart on our part. The highlight was the 'waterfall' that we discovered on our way back to the car. Madisen has asked at least 3 times when we can go hiking again.

*Yesterday I ran out of gas as I was getting on the freeway. I had simply pushed it too far. I was headed to the gas station & had just told the girls that if we didn't get gas we were going to be walking. Since we had to pull over on the freeway entrance & I didn't have a stroller, I opted not to walk with my children. Instead I called Bill 6 times & sent 2 text messages in a matter of 1 minute- only to be ignored. (OK- he was in a mtg. & didn't have his phone.) Plan B was Kate to the rescue! Thank heavens for reliable friends who live close!

I can't believe you ran out of gas!!! What a stinky thing to have happen with the girls in the car! So glad Kate was able to save you!

I do that to Kevin when there's an emergency - I call over and over again until he answers. I'm glad Kate could come get you guys.
