Happy Harvey Day!


Saturday was Happy Harvey Day. June 13 is the day we got engaged back in 2003 so this was our 6th Happy Harvey Day...I got this from my great friend Bec who grew up celebrating the day her parents were engaged.

We decided to go hiking and it was actually a lot of fun and a great hike. Taylor and Matthias were very tired at the end, but it was fairly easy but challenging enough for the boys to have a lot of fun climbing over rocks and crossing rivers, etc. The only downside was all the poison ivy...there was TONS. So Taylor carried Matthias most of the way and Taylor made James sufficiently paranoid that he walked with his arms stiff to his side for most of the time. So far so good. I haven't seen any outbreaks yet. Also it was super windy until we made it into the canyon as you can see by the first pic of my hair in my face.





After the hike we went to A&W for rootbeer floats. Then home to work on the making of Hannah's room. More later this week. We listened to some fun stuff on YouTube including the boys' new favorite song then dinner, cake, and ice cream. It was a great Happy Harvey Day!
