The boys enjoyed their hike on the Bell Canyon Trail a couple of weeks ago. We were joined by our friend Jessenia and three of her four kids as well as Angi and her two girls. The kids all had a great time, we all got some exercise and we enjoyed the beauty of living so close to these beautiful mountains. We decided to try and go hiking every Wednesday this summer and will therefor not regret not getting out more often once the weather turns cold.
Because of the warm, dry weather we have had already this summer; the hiking trails are extremely dry and dusty. It is pretty hard for the kids to keep clean.
Lucas and Landon had their little friend Sean Armstrong over to our house for a sleepover. We all rode bikes to the park where they boys played tennis and I enjoyed some quiet time in the shade. We also got to take in a ReAL Soccer game that night. The McCormack family enjoys watching the Salt Lake team in person and on television as well. As I type this, Landon is roaming around the house singing the ReAL song that we all know so well. Just today Landon had Steve add the short little chant to his music player. :)
This particular night the ReAL lost to the San Jose Earthquakes but we still enjoyed being there, eating hot dogs and pop corn and cheering them on.
Landon is getting a lot better at riding his big bike, even though the first couple of nights we encouraged him to wear his knee and elbow pads. He fell off multiple times but each time got right up and said "I'm O.K." and jumped back on his bike. One Sunday he even managed to ride his bike with Lucas and I all the way to Grandma Judy's house. Even though most of the ride is downhill, 3 miles is quit a ways for his little legs.
Lucas may not pick his nose but he picks everything else. This was a black and white soccer ball he got for Christmas that he picked to pieces.
