We went on an adventure to the Ogden Nature Center yesterday and had a blast. We were there all afternoon exploring and practically had the place all to ourselves. Upon arrival we saw all sorts of cool homemade birdhouses on our first trail along with some really pretty birds. We saw some birds of pray, snakes, a big bee hive, and a tortoise before setting off on our own trail. This place was so magical especially since we were alone. The kids got to play in the woods and climb up and through the trees. We got eaten by mosquitoes, so next time I'll remember to take repellent with us. We came to a meadow where we spotted two deer and a mama duck with her five ducklings in the pond. We made it to our destination which was a huge tree house that the kids got to climb up and look out of binoculars. We walked two miles that afternoon, and only made it through half of the trails, so we're looking forward to going again soon.
We put up our new swing set with the help of our neighbors so the kids had something to do at home. It's a lot smaller than I was hoping, but it'll do for a few years. The kids have been playing on it nonstop. They also kept requesting breakfast for dinner so we had tie-dye pancakes one night and banana waffles the next night. I also had both boys sleeping in their sleeping bags in my room one night (long story), but we've had a fun week so far. Stephen will be gone next week as well, so we'll see what's on our agenda.
