Hikes with the Fam....

We've taken the kids out on a couple of hikes the last few weeks and they are LOVING them.  Brayden's response during the first one was "This is the funnest day, ever!"....which is saying something considering we opted out of season passes to the local amusement park this summer so that we could do stuff like this more often, so I'm really glad they're liking the hikes.  Blessed to live in such a beautiful place, with a family that I absolutely adore spending time with!!!

Live Big Jr....Hero Training Camp and Great Life Youth training.

Live Big Jr...Hero Training camp was really fun for Paige and Brayden, we got to learn about our emotions and how everyone has them and how important it is to express our own emotions AND respect others for theirs.  We also learned about nutrition and green smoothies, the importance of finding and being good role models, we got to spend some time learning about relaxation/meditation, and about music and the effect it has on us, as well as exercise and making it fun to move our bodies.  The kids especially liked the class where we learned about creating value for others...where they got to earn a dollar in doing so.









Paige then got to attend the youth training at Great Life and had a wonderful couple of days learning about who she is and the importance she has.  She got to participate in a rope course and learn that she can do hard things.  She also learned that she is a beautiful, loving, caring girl!!!  Yes she is!!!
