Labor Day

Ok, so I know these are late, but it was just too fun not to write about. We went up to Frye Mesa and went to some natural water slides and just had such a good time! My parents went with us, and our friends the Littles, and their parents. The "big boys" had no problem climbing up the rocks and across the steep rock sides to get to the slides. I however was very uncertain of it all. You go down one slide and plung into this pool of water that is about 5 feet deep and not very big, then when you recover from the shock of the freezing water, you go down the second slide into the pool of water at the bottome. Easy enough right?? hahaha. So I let Brandons mom go first, common courtesy of course, and watched in HORROR as she went down the first slide and all you could see was her feet up in the air, which meant her head was in the 5 ft pool of water somewhere!! Was I crazy?? I was totally willing to just climb the steep rock sides to get back to safety!! But I couldn't chicken out. So I sit down and the water was so cold and I just pushed myself off, and tried to remember, keep my hands up feet down and I would be fine! I wasn't expecting the rush of water into my ears, (later had swimmers ear) but I did it!! I made it to the first water hole!! YES! The second one didn't look nearly as bad, so no problem right?? Well Willey had been down a few times and had always hit the same rock either on his thigh or padded part of his bum, so I knew there was a rock I wanted to avoid, and with all my luck in trying to miss the rock, I hit it straight on the end of my tailbone!! I thought I would die, I couldn't get up I just kept falling forward. So I put on a brave face and tried to walk it off, and gosh darn it like 3 weeks later and it still hurts to bend over, but I did it, I concered that water slide, probably won't be doing it again, but at least I can say I did it! So here are some pics from Labor day:
