Saturday, July 7th

Bennett and Garren started out their day going on a Bike ride. They went on the Ghouls Wash Rim Trail. The only picture I have is of their bikes hanging off the back of the truck.

In the Afternoon we went on a hike up the canyon. the hike goes up the creek that runs by their house. We walked up the creek in the water.

We hiked up to a natural spring. The city uses alot of the water that comes from the spring. The left over runs out of the pipe above.

There was a chair that was thrown down into the canyon. The kids used it to sit on.

These are the stairs and walkway into the canyon so the city has access to their pump station where the water is pumped out. Garren climbed all the way to the top. He said the metal got a bit hot. My dad says this was what was there when he was a kid. The pump station in the picture is no longer in use. There is a newer one on the other side of the creek.

Whitney was playing a game. Grandpa was the crocidile. Bennett was the king. Brady was the fish swimming in the ocean. Grandma was the rock. Whitney was the queen. Bennett got Whitney all wet and she decided to end the game. Then we hiked back.

Later that day Grandpa, Bennett, and Garren went horse back riding over the hills. Bennett fell off his horse after the horse tripped. Later Bennett and Garren's horses got spooked Garren was handing Bennett the camel back across his horse. It got spooked as he passed it. Bennett's horse started running the other way. He stayed on until his horse calmed down. Afterwards the younger three kids got a turn to ride around the corral.

The boys after they came back from their riding trip.

While the boys were off riding horses, the younger kids played in the pool Grandma picked up earlier that day.
