Paul Bunyan Hike...

June 1, 2013...We aren't sure what the rocks in Herriman were called, but you referred to it as Paul Bunyan one time, so I named it that.  The property used to be open to everyone, but when we got there, a
fence was blocking it.  We parked at the gate and walked in.  It was BEAUTIFUL!!!  I have never seen rocks like that before.  They were rocks stacked like logs in a staircase kind of way.  It was hard to capture what it was really like through a picture.  We took a lot of pictures though.  It was really fun!  It was neat to just explore the rocks.  They were high up.  From the top, you could see 4 temples, including Salt Lake.  It was so high up, and the view was very beautiful.  I love how many
adventures we go on.  The fun part is that we hadn't planned a hike that day.  We just decided at the last minute to go.  I only had flip flops, but we did it anyway.  On our way back down, my knees were hurting, so you told me to walk backwards.  I did, and it relieved the pain...but you laughed at me and then took pictures and then videoed me.  I was laughing and didn't know you were videoing me, and then I asked if you were and you said yes.  I told you to put it away and couldn't stop laughing.  You kept saying, "Stop laughing Linda!"  because my mom always
laughs and says that in all our home videos as well.  It was really cute!  I am glad we can create adventures and memories the way we do.  On our way back, you suggested we get some ice cream.  We stopped at Iceberg in Herriman.  You are so cute, because you always get me to try new things.  I am not very adventuresome when it comes to food.  I will try anything, but I usually won't order something I am unsure of.  You
are constantly trying new things.  You like getting different things to see how they taste.  You have been so good for me, because I have had a fun time trying new things.  You suggested a grape shake.  We share everything we get, so we don't get two things, just one and share.  I was kind of sad, because this was my free day of eating, and I wasn't sure I wanted to waste my calories on a grape shake that I wasn't sure I would enjoy.  Well...it was delicious!  You are too cute, and I enjoyed every bite of it.  I love that you help me get out of my
comfort zone.  You are so good for me.  I don't like being picky, and you help me try new things every time we go out.  Thank you for being so good for me!!!
