Friday Field trips





We really enjoy our neighborhood for several reasons- great location, fun people, some kids Kai's age, nice newish Church building, etc. But one of the other super cool things happens at summertime. Every Wednesday is a planned park outing to various local parks and every Friday there are field trips to various local places. Upcoming field trips are things like the fire station, a candy factory, bowling etc. Last year we mostly just did some of the parks, but this summer Kai I think we will make it to more now that Kai is a little older.

Today we were able to go on our first field trip of this summer which was to the Red Butte Gardens. I had never been there before and it was pretty neat. I believe this was the location of the Wise wedding festivities??? Anyway, this place is about 5 minutes from our house and is basically paths through beautiful gardens, fountains etc. There is even a special childrens garden area that has all sorts of neat things for kids to do. So, Kai and I enjoyed today's adventure. He is the one in the fountain pictures with no shirt on because he was enjoying the splashing too much. I didn't stop him considering a bank temperature sign that we drove by on the way home said 100 degrees. HOT times!
