Big Hill Springs

I just have to say how much I LOVE my new calling. Being the Activity Day leader is the funnest calling in the whole church! The girls are SO motivated and excited to be at the activities! Such a change from enrichment! Last night we went on a beautiful hike to Big Hill Springs (15 mins from Airdrie- the most beautiful provincial park!) I had been really nervous about this activity because I didn't know how the weather would be, but it was beautiful. The girls had a great time. It's a really easy hike, with lots of waterfalls, a stream to play in and rocks to climb on.

We saw a HUGE owl- Grandpa Parsons would have been jealous! Anyways, I can't believe that I have never been to, or heard of Big Hill Springs because it was beautiful. Definitely my next location for family pictures!

I started a little program for the girls to memorize their Articles of Faith- and they must be liking it because some of them have been getting together after school to memorize! (Oh to be young!) Anyways, I'm excited about my calling as I'm sure you can tell. And with only one girl offended so far, I think I'm off to a pretty good start... ;) (1 out of 14 isn't bad, right? Just kidding, I'm smoothing it over)

Back to Blogging!

I PROMISE that I will start updating more often. Summer was a little crazy, but so fun! I want to post some pictures and blog about some of the fun things (reunion, Caden's birthday, Calaway park, etc!) But for now, I'll just get a blog out there before Maya wakes up.

We are getting back to "real life" (cleaning, church callings, laundry, etc) after a very fun summer! I don't know if I'm ready for it yet. I think with two active kids, I may go a little crazy during the winter months.... Or are we already crazy?

Either way, I need to find some ways to keep Caden active and happy while we can't go to the park everyday. Any ideas? We are going to try edible playdough today. Anyways, have a great day, from the Crazy Matthews!!
